Re: [cctbxbb] Exceptions squashed by easy_mp (revenge of)

Hi Graeme, Just had a look at the code in dials/util/mp.py. It seems that you are using parallel_map() on a cluster using qsub. Unfortunately multi_core_run() is not designed for that. It only runs on a single multi core CPU PC. Sorry, Rob On 03/04/2018 12:44, [email protected] wrote:

Thanks Rob, I could not dig out the thread (and the mail list thing does not have search that I could find)

I’ll talk to the crew about swapping this out for dials.* - though is possibly quite a big change?

Cheers Graeme

Hi Graeme,

I recall we've been here before, http://phenix-online.org/pipermail/cctbxbb/2017-December/001807.html

I believe the solution is to use easy_mp.multi_core_run() instead of easy_mp.parallel_map(). The first function preserves stack traces of individual process, unlike easy_mp.parallel_map().

Regards,

Rob

It would greatly help to see it in the output of the program (if as is the case here I do not have the user data) My email-fu is not strong enough to dig out the previous conversation Cheers Graeme
