    Hi,

    Question 1

    Does Ray support Illumina 1.6+ fastq format (with trailing B's)?

    Answer

    No, but it should work if the trailing B's are at the end, but not at the beginning.



    Question 2

    Does Ray have the capability for trimming low-quality bases or should I pre-process my reads beforehand?

    Answer

    Ray does not trim sequences, but random errors are not a problem.



    Question 3

    Should I convert my libraries to Phred/Sanger scores?

    Answer

    No: Ray does not use quality scores.



    Question 4

    Can I run Bambus with Rays's output?

    Answer

    Ray outputs a fasta file -- I have never utilized Bambus, so the question is what Bambus needs.

      OpenMPI 1.2.8?

      Hi Sebastien,
      I followed the instruction in WiKi page and launched Ray about 20 hours ago. The processes are still running. Is this normal? When should it finish? I believe we have enough computing power. Only concern is that we have OpenMPI 1.2.8 in stead of 1.3.4 or 1.4.1. Does Ray work with 1.2.8? Please give some suggestion. Thank you very much for your great work, Best, ldong

        Re:

        Hi,

        @ldong

        What is the connectivity? (Infiniband's OK)

        Which step does Ray reach before stalling?

        Do dots kept being printed ?

        If the answer's no, then it might be the spin-lock bug in Open-MPI.

        https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/ticket/2043 (shoud be fixed in Milestone 1.4.3.)


        Anyway, 1.2.8's very old. Current release's 1.4.2!

        I also need to optimize communication for "Computing seeds" and later steps in Ray.


        Recommendation: upgrade to 1.4.1 or 1.4.2


        Cordially,

        SĂ©bastien

            Hi, Seb,

            Thank you very much for your suggestions. Not sure if we can upgrade openmpi. I will check with system administrator.

            We have a few nodes with 16 CPU and 64G memory allowing me to test Ray. Here are what I found:

            If I run Ray on two nodes with 32 process. There is always one process on the first node of the host list slowly reaches 25G memory, then gets killed by the system. Other processes never reach 1G.

            It seems like 25G is a system limitation. I will ask our administrator. What do you think? Best, ldong

              hang? during "Extending seeds"

              I compiled Ray with openmpi 1.4.2, gcc version 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-44), x86_64 architecture and run it with "mpirun -mca btl ^sm". The data is 3 simulated Illumina libraries comprising 52x coverage of a 225MB chromosome: 40x 500bp PE 95nt reads (inward facing), 8x 5kb mate paired 36nt reads (outward facing), 4x 10kb mate paired 36nt reads(outward facing).

              Using 128 cores (16 8-core nodes), it runs fine up until the "Extending seeds" step. After a while the printing of the dots seem to slow down to glacial speeds. I've let it sit for several days with no progress. Is this an open mpi problem, you think? Any ideas on getting around this problem?

                If the paired-end reads are put in the same file, Ray can handle it?

                      Congrats on e-publication

                      Congratulations on Ray's epub!

                      I learned of your work about 2 weeks ago, familiarized myself with the documentation you've provided, and successfully completed the E. coli assembly with sample data.

                      As the publication is now complete, could you please provide some more details with respect to your processing of Human Chromosome 1 (under the limitations section of the project website).

                      Specifically, could you provide the output text for that run so that I could better ascertain:
                      a. the run time for that assembly on your hardware
                      b. the version of the Open-MPI Library used in that assembly

                      I'd like to use Ray for assembly of sequencing reads for eukaryotes... and would like to know what, if any, potential problems to anticipate.

                      As Open-MPI 1.5 has now been released, I'd like to know if the shared memory problem is still a concern when performing analyses of larger datasets. I believe that this has been fixed in versions > 1.4.1, but would like to know for certain if it is a problem with Ray before spending hours of analysis time on shared hardware.

                      Thanks for both your work and time in addressing these questions-- your efforts are very much appreciated.

                        Response to 'Congrats on e-publication'

                        Congratulations on Ray's epub!
                        Thanks !

                        I learned of your work about 2 weeks ago, familiarized myself with the documentation you've provided, and successfully completed the E. coli assembly with sample data.
                        Now that is reproducible research !

                        As the publication is now complete, could you please provide some more details with respect to your processing of Human Chromosome 1 (under the limitations section of the project website).
                        Well, I used Open-1.3.4 with shared memory disabled. Ray 0.0.7 was
                        utilized.

                        I simulated reads of length 50 at a depth of 50 for the human chromosome
                        1 (the largest). To do so, I used the simtools provided with Ray. To get
                        them, type 'make simtools'.

                        The wiki is misleading on this, because I actually used a MPI-enabled
                        Infiniband-connected computer. I'll correct that shortly. Precisely, 384
                        cores were used.

                        The Sun Grid Engine script follows.

                        PHP Code:
                        [12@colosse2 0.0.7-run]$ cat Human-chr1-ompi-1.3.4-gcc.sh
                        #!/bin/bash
                        #$ -N Ray
                        #$ -P nne-790-aa
                        #$ -l h_rt=24:00:00
                        #$ -pe mpi 384

                        If you ask why Open-MPI 1.3.4, it is because all other versions have
                        shared memory enabled on the said computer, and that Open-MPI 1.4.3 is
                        not available yet to users of the said computer.

                        You better use Open-MPI 1.4.3 as it is a super stable release whereas Open-MPI 1.5 is a feature release. I only have access to Open-MPI 1.3.4 with disabled shared memory and Open-MPI 1.4.1 with defaults.

                        I should gain access to Open-MPI 1.4.3 with defaults in the next days/weeks.

                        Thanks for both your work and time in addressing these questions-- your efforts are very much appreciated.
                        Thank you also for bringing these questions.

                            First of all: thanks for providing Ray. I am reading the paper and it sounds very promising.

                            I am testing version 0.1.0 (openMPI 1.4.2, compiled with intel11.1) on 8 X 8 core/48GB nodes. The data are 12 lanes of illumina PE reads and two runs of 454 of a bird species we are sequencing. The first 14 hrs Ray output tons of messages in ray.out, but for the past 36hrs has been quiet, but still keeping a 100% load on the nodes, utilizing about 5GB of memory for each job.

                            Is this quiet to be expected, or a manifestation of this "spin-lock" bug mentioned above? Is there any way of checking that Ray is still running OK?
                            Cheers

                            EDIT: Ok looking closer at the spin-lock bug reports, it only seems to affect GCC, so Ill try to be patient

                              Where does it hang?

                              I think the bug 2043 was addressed in Open-MPI 1.4.3.

                              I don't know if ICC can produce the same problem though.




                              Yes, there is a way if you can log on the worker nodes.


                              First, get the pid of the processes associated to Ray

                              ps aux|grep Ray

                              then, attach a gdb instance to one of them.

                              gdb attach <pid of a Ray instance>

                              Finally, do a backtracking in gdb

                              bt

                              You will see which code is currently executed.



                              What is your interconnection?

                                Hi,

                                The job had to be killed for other reasons, but here are the last lines of ray.out:

                                $ tail testrun/ray.out
                                Rank 51 stores an extension, 1354 vertices.
                                Rank 51 starts on a seed, length=106
                                Rank 43 starts on a seed, length=444
                                Rank 4 stores an extension, 1166 vertices.
                                Rank 4 starts on a seed, length=142
                                Rank 59 stores an extension, 152 vertices.
                                Rank 59 starts on a seed, length=211
                                Rank 6 stores an extension, 1095 vertices.
                                Rank 6 starts on a seed, length=89
                                Rank 0 starts on a seed, length=1175
                                The interconnections are Infiniband.

                                Im rerunning the job on a bigger set of nodes, Ill post the progress.

                                cheers
