[ccp4bb] flex-wARP error

2011-03-24 Thread Matthew Franklin

Hi all -

I'm finding that Arp/Warp is crashing when I try to run a job.  I was 
working on a challenging molecular replacement job where I though Arp 
tracing the fragmentary density could do a better job than I could by 
hand (this turned out to be true, by the way).  I was testing different 
parameters, and running a few flex-warp jobs in parallel.  They would 
crash at different cycles of the building and refinement, but always at 
the same point in the cycle.  Looking at the error messages in the log 
files led to this one, in the last HmainPept log file to be written:


 Density interpolation: points  10539450
0.00 CPU2 Elapsed  Superposition
  11394 rotations have been done, total   46821
0.00 CPU1 Elapsed  Rotations

   2009 flipped peptides are taken

user11.51
sys  0.08

I think what's happening here is that I had multiple jobs running 
simultaneously, and they were all trying to read and write to the same 
fort.15 file.  As you can see, this file is in Arp/Warp's main 
directory, not in any of the working directories.  At some random point, 
one job would step on the other's read or write, and I'd get a crash.


Can someone confirm my guess?  Is it possible to fix this bug so that 
multiple flex-wARP jobs can be run in parallel?  I'm running Arp/Warp 
Expert System (i.e. flex-wARP) from ccp4i, and I don't think this is 
happening with other Arp/Warp modes.


(I'll be happy to provide more logfiles, input files, etc.)

Thanks,
Matt

Hi -

Yes, your suspicion is correct, and I think that bug has been silently  
fixed in the latest distribution.


I am pretty sure Victor has now a job-dependent filename, if not we  
will try and fix it now as we prepare
a new release. In that case, pleas email Gerrit telling him details  
about your platform, and he
can send you a new executable hmain and instructions for how to fix  
this till then.


best,

Tassos
