I've seen both of those errors before. There's no official explanation except that it has something to do with unable to allocate memory.

What do you mean by "Testing viewer wrapper"? At this point, all I can assume is that the PC memory crisis was something that you caused unless you have defective hardware.

[jimerickson]

i think he is referring to FAH_WrapperGPUTrajectory.py by ChristianVirtual now on github.

[ChristianVirtual]

It could be that the Python wrapper leak memory. I thought I released internal lists during processing; might not be sufficient. At one stage we chased some memory leakage with a Core or project. At that time I raised some false alarms too due to a precessor of this script.

Anyway: I switched my client to adv and hope to get a similar WU assigned (actually I got one but had to go to work) and hope to some hints of leakage. Else I need to tweak the processing and reduce the memory footprint.

[davidcoton]

I saw high memory use (>500M) when serving two Viewers simultaneously. I looked for continuously rising mem use. I did not definitively see that, but can't rule it out. Lower memory use would be better -- or a check of overall memory available because the non-essential program (wrapper+viewer) should not cause a problem for the mission-critical core.

The null pointer release issue could be a consequence of an earlier out of memory issue, but ideally the Core code should detect the condition and handle it (it becomes a Warning, not an Error). It is only an issue because the Core failed to recover. It may be because of Out of Memory, but that in itself should be detected and should raise a Warning. (Can be difficult if there is no memory left to use for generating the Warning!)

[toTOW]

The WU might be bad ... there's another report of failure from another user in the DB ...

[davidcoton]

Or it might just be the false positive checking from an old version of Core21. I've had several that look like that on 9208/9.

[ChristianVirtual]

there was (and still is a bit) some memory leak with the XML Parser. Modified it and have a branch open "issue-with-memory-leak" (v2.3).

I could open a 9208 (0,9,81) with 33'000 atoms and bonds.
But memory footprint it better

Also keep in mind if you run the viewer on the same machine that also need quite some memory to actually render the protein. Preferable is to run the viewer from a different machine (will also reduce impact on the folding itself by not bothering the GPU for rendering).

I will check more next year ... family time ...
