Re: [phenixbb] mr_rosetta memory usage

Hi Tjaard, I am a bit surprised about this level of memory usage, unless your structure is really huge. When the memory usage is very high...can you do a "top" and see if the job being run is "mr_protocols.de" (running Rosetta) as opposed to "python" (running autobuild/phenix.refine, etc)? That might help narrow it down. All the best, Tom T

I am currently running mr_rosetta and found that after a while the computer (running OpenSuse/linux) slows down dramatically because its memory (8 GB) is running full. I’m not sure if the program still runs or not. Is there a way to limit the amount of memory that phenix/mr_rosetta uses ? Or should I e.g. lower the amount of models being used (currently 5) ? (Before starting mr_rosetta I ran the regression test which was fine).

I don't know details of how mr_rosetta works, but you have 'nproc' set to 5 - so you potentially have 5 simultaneous processes competing for memory. If you use fewer processors it might help.
