Slow/lagging Chrome GUI

Application
1

Currently, my CS version is 4.5.3. And creating new jobs, copy jobs, or scroll up and down etc. are very slow or lagging now. Other sofewares on my computer don’t have this issue. Restarting computer doesn’t help. Do you have any idesa?

@CleoShen Please can you post:

  1. the full URL (including http: or https: and port number, if applicable) that you enter into the web browser’s address bar to access the CryoSPARC GUI
  2. the output of the following commands:
    cryosparcm log supervisord | tail -n 30
ps -eo pid,ppid,start,command | grep -e cryosparc -e mongo
3

@CleoShen CS can slow down over time and we do restart. It seems much faster after that.

Is it just chrome or does another web browser seem faster ?

With some default security, the web browser may think cryosparc host:39000 is insecure - especially with downloads.

Let us know how the new v4.60 goes.

After re-starting my Chrome, it would be faster, but, after creating like three four ish jobs, it starts to be lagging again.

Thanks for posting these outputs.
The symptoms do not exactly match a problem that should be fixed by either a patch for v4.5.3 or, following @Mark-A-Nakasone’s suggestion, an update to v4.6.0, but you may want to try patching or updating anyway.

Given the port number outside the port range of the CryoSPARC master processes shown in your log and ps outputs, does your browser run on a computer other than the CryoSPARC master, and you forwarded a port from the “browser computer” with an ssh command like
ssh -L 16711:[...]
?

Yes, the CS master ran on computer cluster and I use my local computer to see the GUI. I used ssh like command to start the browser GUI.

7

Is this still happening after the update to v4.6.0?

8

Yes, and I found that refresh the chrome GUI would speed up a little bit.

@CleoShen

  1. What is the full ssh command you use?
  2. What is full URL you type into the web browser’s address bar to access the GUI?
  3. How much RAM does your local computer have.
  4. How much RAM does the cluster node that runs the CryoSPARC master processes, and what else is running on that computer?

Hi wtemple,
I have a guess now, there are 2,600 jobs in this workplace, is the large job numbers affect the speed of loading the GUI?

@CleoShen Please can you test, after observing lag in the 2600 job workspace, performance is better inside a workspace with fewer jobs, even without reloading the web browser?
