Benchmarks
Performance and accuracy benchmarks for zsasa compared with FreeSASA, RustSASA, and Lahuta.
Benchmark Suite
| Benchmark | What it measures | Key result |
|---|---|---|
| Single-File | Per-structure SASA speed across 2,013 structures | 1.88x faster than FreeSASA, 1.84x faster than RustSASA (f64, t=10) |
| Batch | Proteome-scale directory processing throughput | 3.7x faster than RustSASA, 7x less memory at SwissProt scale |
| MD Trajectory | Molecular dynamics trajectory SASA performance | 82–96x less memory than mdsasa-bolt |
| Validation | Accuracy against FreeSASA reference | Mean error <0.001% (f64), <0.05% (f32) |
Environment
All benchmarks were run on the same machine. Absolute times are environment-dependent — relative speedup ratios are the meaningful metric. All tools use identical parameters (n_points=100, probe_radius=1.4Å) unless otherwise noted.
