Variable selection models for genomic selection using whole-genome sequence data and singular value decomposition

Table 1 Computing times with a dual core Xeon(R) CPU E5-2620 v2 (2.10 GHz) machine with 24 processors

Task	Number of times required^a	Wall-time			Number of processors used
Task	Number of times required^a	Days	Hours	Minutes	Number of processors used
MCMC_BayesC	1	1	19	28	6
SVD (one chromosome)	20			8.5	10
SVD (overall)	1			25.1	10
SVD-based BayesC^b	1			2.2	1
SVD-based SNPBLUP^b	1			1.5	1

^aTasks that can be performed in parallel on different nodes; 20 reflects the number of chromosomes
^b \( {\text{SVD}} \) has been performed before hand
