Does execution time scale linearly with number of reads?

I have a reference that is 1Gb in size, and two sets of reads with the same size. How to estimate the execution time of Bowtie2 given the features of my machine?
Honestly, your best bet is to just align a million reads or so (see the -u option) and extrapolate from that.
1. use `bowtie2-build` to build index for the reference: bowtie2-build reference**.fa a_custom_name_as_index_name
2. use bowtie to align reads to the reference geneme: bowtie2 -p thread_num -x a_custom_name_as_index_name -1 left_reads.fq -2 right_reads.fq -S output_alignment_results.sam
tophat/HAIST -> bowtie2
