Time vs Efficiency
The Pareto frontier: algorithms in the top-left corner are the best tradeoff between speed and packing quality.
Recommendation: Use OBFD as the default — it's near-optimal in efficiency with sub-millisecond latency. Switch to NF or HK only if you need streaming, as these are the only two streaming-capable algorithms in SeqPacker.
Efficiency by Algorithm
Packing efficiency for the selected dataset and capacity. Offline algorithms (sorted input) consistently outperform online ones.
Throughput
Raw throughput in sequences per second. NF's single-pass design makes it the undisputed throughput champion.
Cross-Dataset Ranking
How does each algorithm perform across all 7 datasets? Darker = higher efficiency. Algorithms are sorted by average efficiency.
Online vs Offline
Online algorithms can process sequences as they arrive (streaming). Offline algorithms require all sequences upfront but achieve better packing.
