[BioC] QuasR on Linux Cluster

[Ugo Borello]

Hi all,
I am trying to use QuasR on a Linux Cluster:1 machine/multiple cores.

I run:
library(QuasR)
library(BSgenome.Mmusculus.UCSC.mm10)

cl <- makeCluster(1)

sampleFile <- "sampleFile.txt"

genomeName <- "BSgenome.Mmusculus.UCSC.mm10"

proj <- qAlign(sampleFile, genome= genomeName, splicedAlignment=TRUE,
clObj=cl)

And I get
> proj <- qAlign(sampleFile, genome= genomeName, splicedAlignment=TRUE,
clObj=cl)
alignment files missing - need to:
    create 1 genomic alignment(s)
Testing the compute nodes...OK
Loading QuasR on the compute nodes...OK
Available cores:
nodeNames
ccwsge0155 
         1 
Performing genomic alignments for 1 samples. See progress in the log file:
/scratch/4401022.1.huge/QuasR_log_41394115a102.txt
Error in unserialize(node$con) : error reading from connection
Calls: qAlign ... FUN -> recvData -> recvData.SOCKnode -> unserialize
Execution halted


I also tryied to modify the multicore option

cl <- makeCluster(detectCores())

And my job is killed because it uses more memory ( Max vmem = 17.118G) than
allowed (16G)


Any suggestions. I am pretty stuck.

Thank you in advance for your help.
Ugo
