HI James,
Regarding the suggestion of lossy compression, it is really hard to
comment without having a good idea of the real cost of doing this. So,
I have a suggestion:
- grab a bag of JCSG data sets, which we know should all be essentially OK.
- you squash then unsquash them with your macguff
Hi James,
That is not exactly a lot of info to decide the best weight. The optimal
weight is (very loosely) resolution dependent. At normal resolutions the
optimal matrix weight is usually well below 1.0. Start at 0.3 and try a few
weights to see what works best for your data. To close the R-fr
Hi James,
I see no real need for lossy compression datasets. They may be useful
for demonstration purposes, and to follow synchrotron data collection
remotely. But for processing I need the real data. It is my experience
that structure solution, at least in the difficult cases, depends on

Um, but isn't Crystallograpy based on a series of

Hi,
I have encountered this problem with CCP4 6.2.0 as well as for the past few
years. Whenever I run the CCP4 installer "for all users" on my Windows Vista PC
as administrator it only creates desktop icons and startup menu item for the
administrator account, not for other users.

Dear Herbert,
Sorry, the point I was getting at was that the process is one way, but
if it is also *destructive* i.e. the original "master" is not
available then I would not be happy. If the master copy of what was
actually recorded is available from a tape someplace perhaps not all

Thanks for listing all the problems.
We are testing a new installer for Windows now. It's written from scratch (we

we'll put it on ftp tomorrow.

Could anyone point me towards instructions on how to get/build

nothing. The latest updated phaser binary doesn't seem to be

Hi Ed,
in the CCP4 distribution, openmp is not enabled by default, and there
seems to be no easy way to enable it (i.e. by setting a flag at the
configure stage).
On the other hand, you can easily create a separate build for phaser
that is openmp enabled and use phaser from there. To do this, cr

"would you download the compressed images first?"
So far, noone has really answered it.

Hi James,
Fair enough.
However I would still be quite interested to see how different the
results are from the originals and the compressed versions. If the
differences were pretty minor (i.e. not really noticeable) then I

We have been following the CCP4BB discussion with interest. As has been

Hmmm, so you would, when collecting large data images, say 4 images, 100MB in
size, per second, in the middle of the night, from home, reject seeing
compressed images on your data collection software, while the "real thing" is
lingering behind somewhere, to be downloaded and stored later? As o

It would be a good start to get all images written now with lossless
compression, instead of the uncompressed images we still get from the ADSC
detectors. Something that we've been promised for many years

Hello,
How faster is the OpenMP version of Phaser
versus number of cores used?
In the past I have been quite badly surprised by
the no-acceleration I gained when using OpenMP
with some of my programs... :(

The mp3/music analogy might be quite appropriate.
On some commercial music download sites, there are several options for
purchase, ranging from audiophool-grade 24-bit, 192kHz sampled music, to
CD-quality (16-bit, 44.1kHz), to mp3 compression and various lossy bit-rates.
