[phenixbb] Autobuild requires more then 24 hrs to run on 32 cpu?

[Tatyana Sysoeva]

Hello!

I am trying to use Autobuild wizard and it seems that it takes longer time
that I expected.
That's why I have next questions:

1. What is "usual" time range estimate for Autobuild run with default
parameters if my model has 7 chains with 284 aa in each?
(if I'm running Autobuild on a single machine it does not finish in 3 days
or on cluster with usage of 32 processors - in 24 hours)

2. Do I use phenix comman correctly for using several machines at once?

I used /phenix-1.4-89, command line
*phenix.autobuild  data=e239a.hkl seq_file=seq.dat model=model.pdb nproc=32*


In 24 hrs, which is my limit on cluster time, I get next things -
AutoBuild_run_1_1_/AutoBuild_run_1_1.log ends with

*Setting up to build 5 models to be combined into final model #1
NOTE: input model will be rebuilt in place: nothing will be added or
deleted.

or with error *
TRIED resolve_extra_huge ...but not OK

Should I change parameters of the Autobuild which will dramatically reduce
time for computations or should I ask for extension of my time for letting
the programs to run as it is?

I would give more details if it is needed I just could not think of some
other right now. And I would appreciate any advices and suggestions!


Thank you
Tanya
