Increasing the throughput of machine translation systems using clouds
Table 9: The final results for SMT system: the throughput is linear to the number of the nodes in the cluster (n_max = 16).

The throughput is linear to the number of nodes, the penalty for using the Map reduce setting is the startup time of around 3 minutes and a general 20% lower throughput due to the more complicated architecture.
