Cryosparc crashing - sock file

Welcome to the forum @carterwheat.
Please can you provide additional details:

  1. What was the full command you used to check for running processes?
  2. Is this a single workstation-type (master and worker combined on a single computer) CryoSPARC instance?
  3. What are the outputs of these commands on the CryoSPARC master computer:
    free -g
    sudo dmesg | grep -i oom
    

Hi, Thanks for helping.

The command I’ve been using to check running procs:
ps -ax | grep cryosparc

Master and worker are on the same, single workstation.

bell@ub22-04:~$ free -g
               total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:             187           4          15           0         167         181
Swap:              1           0           1
bell@ub22-04:~$ sudo dmesg | grep -i oom
bell@ub22-04:~$

The second command doesn’t seem to give me any output.

Hi @wtempel ,

Update: I have been using a script to clear the cache every hour and it seems to have gotten around the " … .sock refused connection" issue. However I am still having issues, now during during 2D-classification:

`Traceback (most recent call last):

We have ran the same 2D class job parameters (not cloned) and get this error at different points during iterations.

Along with that error, we also get an unresponsive heartbeat termination for some of the same 2D class jobs as well. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Thanks for the update @carterwheat.

What cache is being cleared and what is the command being used?
Regarding the new errors you observed:

  1. What is your version of CryoSPARC?
  2. What are the outputs of the following commands in a fresh shell?
    cat /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
    sudo dmesg -T | grep -i error
    eval $(cryosparcm env)
    host $CRYOSPARC_MASTER_HOSTNAME
    time curl ${CRYOSPARC_MASTER_HOSTNAME}:$CRYOSPARC_COMMAND_CORE_PORT
    
    You may want to exit the shell after having recorded the commands’ outputs to avoid inadvertently running general commands inside the CryoSPARC environment.

Hi @wtempel ,

I am running v4.4.1.

In a fresh shell:

bell@ub22-04:~$ cat /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
always [madvise] never
bell@ub22-04:~$ sudo dmesg -T | grep -i error

(no output)

bell@ub22-04:~$ eval $(cryosparcm env)

(no output)

bell@ub22-04:~$ host $CRYOSPARC_MASTER_HOSTNAME
ub22-04 has address 10.69.108.35
bell@ub22-04:~$ time curl ${CRYOSPARC_MASTER_HOSTNAME}:
$CRYOSPARC_COMMAND_CORE_PORT

Hello World from cryosparc command core.

real	0m0.023s
user	0m0.005s
sys	0m0.005s

not sure if this is the correct way to do so, but the command I’ve been clearing the cache with:
sync; echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

Regarding

you may want to check for corrupt particles, as suggested in 2D Classification: ValueError: index is out of bounds for array - #23 by hgxy15. You may use the Check for Corrupt Particles job type and enable Check for NaN values. If the test passes and you enabled Cache particle images on SSD for classification, particles may have been corrupted in the cache.

Thanks for your reply @wtempel

I did run a check particles job (with NaN option) on the same particle stack and no corruption was detected. We have been turning off SSD caching as well for every job applicable.

If it helps, 2D classification will run fine with a fraction of the particles (about 1 million), but the full dataset (about 13 million) results in the issues aforementioned.

Interesting. I wonder if each 1M or so partition of the 13M set would succeed individually, or if there were at least one partition that would also fail. Have you tried that?

Hi @wtempel ,

I tried splitting the particle stack into smaller groups to run 2D classification individually, but unfortunately we were met with buffering of the cryosparc session. I assigned 3 2D class jobs (2.5 M particles each), each with 1 GPU and ultimately received the sock connection error:

cryosparcm status
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
CryoSPARC System master node installed at
/home/bell/programs/cryosparc_master
Current cryoSPARC version: v4.4.1
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

CryoSPARC process status:

unix:///tmp/cryosparc-supervisor-2bd2e4ee751475e1d6470e25365ba9c5.sock refused connection

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

So it seems I have not fully addressed this issue quite yet. Any suggestions on what I can try next?

Thanks again!

What are the outputs of these commands when the sock file refuses connection?

free -g
date
ps -eo user,pid,ppid,start,rsz,vsz,cmd | grep -e cryosparc_ -e mongo | grep -v grep
date
ls -l /tmp/cryosparc*.sock /tmp/mongodb-*.sock

Thanks for your reply @wtempel

Here is the requested output

The empty ps -e output suggests that CryoSPARC-related processes have exited, but socket files where (unexpectedly) left behind.
What is the output of the command

cryosparcm log supervisord | tail -n 20

?

@wtempel here is the output.

this is while cryosparc is buffering/sock connection issues are happening

Thanks for posting the supervisord log.
Please can you post the outputs of these commands

Please can you confirm with the command

@wtempel sure:

@carterwheat Unfortunately, I was not able to confirm the (only) hypothesis I had based on your problem description

and the commands’ outputs that you so patiently provided.
The hypothesis went like this:

  1. CryoSPARC was started as normal.
  2. CryoSPARC processes were abruptly killed due to some event (RAM or other system load?. A mere TERM signal would have allowed for the cleanup of the file)

The kernel “OOM killer” seemed to me a good candidate for part 2., but there appear to be no supporting log records. Please let us know if you have any additional information that would point to an alternative cause, such as if the CryoSPARC processes are running inside a container or are subject to some cluster workload manager.

@wtempel Thanks for all of your help. I will keep you updated if anything else comes up that may point us in the right direction.

Hi all,
I’m facing the same problem. I tried some of these suggestions, but none worked. Attached is the error I’m getting.

I’m running CryoSPARC on a local EXXACT workstation on Linux Rocky 9, if it helps. Any suggestions?
