There are some difference between CancerVar and VIC. VIC is my first version. CancerVar optimized the score strategy, also the datasets are bigger and updated.

thanks. So i tried both CancerVar and VIC for 10 input variants. Time consuming varied greatly. CancerVar took 42 mins while VIC took only 6 mins. Consistent reference datasets used for ANNOVAR step. Results are pasted as below.

Additionally, i noticed that the latest update time for VIC is 3 months ago and CancerVar is 6 months. Are these two programs both under active developing? Which one preferred?

That's not normal, not sure your running environment , normally in linux, cancervar can quickly process 10 variants < 3 mins in single thread, 40 mins seems not right, for example I am using python2.7 and one Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2650 v2 @ 2.60GHz.

I'm using Python 2.7.5 and 32 Intel(R) Xeon(R) Silver 4110 CPU @ 2.10GHz.
