Ab-initio 3D Crash (How to prevent/recover)

Hi Tim,

The Ab-initio 3D run crashed, with the following message on the terminal

Average sigma noise = 42.846611, average LogP = 11.391157
Average ShiftX = -0.564679, average ShiftY = -0.384859
Sigma ShiftX = 16.473682, sigma ShiftY = 16.191534
Number of particles to refine = 13246

cisTEM version 1.0.0-beta Running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.10 (Santiago)

Looking in ./Assets/Parameters

I can see the files startup_input_stats_33_1.txt, startup_input_par_33_1.par & output_par_33_1.par. Is there a way to restart from where it left off (i.e. Cycle 33).

Thanks,

Update

Update -  Re-ran with 15 Cycles (instead of 40), and a resoltuion of 8 Ang. (instead of 6), and it ran to completion, although the reconstruction was not that good.

Hi Stephen,

Hi Stephen,

Sorry for the late reply - does it always crash with 40 cycles?  Is it possible you are running out of disk space?

Thanks Tim,

Thanks Tim,
The crash happens between cycles 33-36 when running 40 cycles. It only crashes with this dataset (works fine with beta-gal test dataset). There is enough space on the disk.

Hmm, that is weird, I'm

Hmm, that is weird, I'm afraid I am not sure what could be causing it.

We're working on getting the new release out in the next few months - it has many changes so I hope this will be fixed by that.

Computer setup

Hi Tim,

I am starting to suspect that there is something amiss with our local computer setup.

Even during simple jobs like Align Movies, sometimes the GUI suddenly shuts down. 

Are there any common reasons that could cause cisTEM GUI to shutdown. I have not noticed any pattern to when this happens, but happens somewhat randomly.

Thanks,

Stephen

I also ran into this issue

I also ran into this issue multiple times recently. I've tried to decrease the number of processes, from the default 25 all the way down to 10 without success. the program would hang at random cycles, regardless.
