Throughput depends upon file types and sizes.

To generate this table, four main file types were chosen: Empower RAW JSON, AKTA RAW JSON, Binary, and CSV. Each was tested with different protocol versions and file sizes.

For Empower RAW JSON files, the protocol selected is common/empower-raw-to-ids:common/empower-raw-to-ids:v3.10.1, with the maximum file size tested of 1 GB binary, equivalent to 2.4 GB Empower RAW JSON uncompressed.

For the AKTA RAW JSON files, the protocol version is common/akta-raw-to-ids:v3.1.0, with maximum file size tested of 84 MB.

For Binary files, two protocol versions were selected. For FCS, common/bd-flow-cytometers-raw-to-ids:v1.1.2 is used, with a maximum file size tested of 141 MB. For CZI, common/extract-to-decorate:v2.1.0 common/zeiss-microscope-raw-to-ids:v0.2.4 is used, with a maximum file size tested of 12 GB.

For CSV files, common/perkinelmer-envision-raw-to-ids:v2.6.0 is the protocol version, with a maximum file size tested of 400 KB.
