Hello

I also get similar problem : the diffusion data are quite to big. I had to repeat the bedpostx 2 or 3 times in order to make it complete. So I guess it depend of the load of each node. It was not killed by the sge for any ressource limit, but it was kill by the processor because of memory issue I guess (so I could not see it on the cluster log file)

I had a similar problem when trying to do probtrackx. (the jobs were kill by the cluster) The solution was just to ask a big amount of memory (qsub -l mem=12gb) so that the cluster will only run one or two probtrack process on the same node.

I do not know how to change fslsub so that bedpostx add the extra argument to qsub (ie : -l mem=...) You can also use qalter as suggest by Colin, but then you have to be quick to make the qalter during the preproc step, before each element of the array start.


Cheers

You are right, the missing slices mainly located in the middle of the brain. So I guess the problem comes from our grid engine....

I tried use -nf=3, but the process fails all the time. I guess it too demanding for the computer

Thank you,

    Do you know that your cluster is not killing some of the jobs?
     Which slices are missing?  If it is mainly the middle ones, I'd
    suspect that they are exceeding some limit for the cluster.

    For HCP data you can successfully model 3 fibers (--nf=3) and
    should use the -g option with FSL 5.0.5.  I'd leave fudge and bi
    at their defaults unless you have a reason to change them.
     --model=2 is correct.

    Peace,

    Matt.

    Subject: Re: [HCP-Users] BedpostX failed

    It happened on subject 100307 and 105115. I am running the job in
    a grid engine.
    The command line I use is listed below:

    bedpostx
    
/NAS_II/Public-Data/Parcellation/Q2_released_data/105115/105115_Diffusion_preproc/T1w/Diffusion
    --nf=2 --fudge=1  --bi=1000 --model=2

    Thank you,

    Su

        What subject is this?

        What command line did you call bedpostx with?

        Are you running this on your local machine or in some cluster
        environment?

        Note that a new version of FSL was just released with
        improvements to bedpostx that you need to correctly process
        HCP data (not fixing missing slices, but correcting for the
        effects of gradient nonlinearities on the bmatrix), so I
        highly recommend you update.

        Peace,

        Matt.

        Hi Stam,

        I checked the bedpostX results and it didn't have the same
        number of slices as the input data. It caused problem when I
        want to to probabilistic tracking. And this missing slices
        problem happens quite a lot!

        Thank you,

        Su

            Hi

            Is it just the message that worries you? Have you checked
            whether bedpostx results have the same number of slices as
            the input data? Notice that the diffusion data are
            transferred to T1 space and lots of inferior/superior
            slices may be empty.

            Cheers
            Stam

            Hi dear experts,

            I am running bedpostX on the HCP diffusion data, however,
            it seems that sometimes (60% of chance) the bedpostX
            ended before finishing all the slices. Take the HCP data
            for example, it should have 145 slices, but the betpostX
            stopped at slice 103 then show a message said "All slice
            processed."

            Does anyone know where the problem might be? Thank you!

            Cheers,

            Su
