Hi Jan, Hi Rob, hi Gustavo,
thanks for you answers. I totally missed the thread in the bb and
couldn't find anything in the archive.... also the wiki entry - frankly
I havn't checked that one for a while ...
Great to know that the CU update solves most of the issues regarding the
openMP virtualisation - I also can confirm that here...
Just did a little testing in a virtual machine running Win10CU or Ubuntu
16. The times XDS needed to analyse the Helmholtz #3 MR dataset are below:
Window 10 = 286 sec (mean of 3 trials)
Ubuntu 16 = 293 sec (mean of 3 trials)
I tried to keep the settings of the VM similar, so I guess this will
give us a general idea of the speed of XDS on both OSs.... I am suprised
that Windows seems (at least in my setting) not to be slower than Linux...
Best,
Jan

Hi Jan, Rob,
it is documented in XDSwiki
athttp://strucbio.biologie.uni-konstanz.de/xdswiki/index.php/Installation#Windows
- I just added the hints concerning the Creators Update (can anybody verify
that OpenMP parallelization works with that??).
best,
Kay

Hi Jan,
There were some postings on the bulletin board about this in the latter
half of August last year. I also recall problems with the parallel
version of XDS but I think this was fixed by Microsoft in a patch that I
believe is included in the recent Creators update to Windows 10. Can't
verify this right now as the XDS download site appears to be offline.
But will do so when I get home.

Dear XDS users,
I haven't read anything about this here, but probably I missed it:
With the relatively new "Windows Subsystem for Linux" you can "natively" (i.e.
without an virtual machine) run XDS on Windows 10.
In theory it should have a similar performance than on a native Linux System.
However, currently I wasn't able to get the parrallised version (xds_par) to
work - which negates the potential speed advantage over an virtual machine.
In principle XDS-GUI is also working with some tricks... but it is a little bit
buggy...
I haven't tested other suites yet nor carefully checked the output, so be
carefull.
With kind regards,
Jan
PS: Before anyone wonders: I DO use Linux normally, however on my small
ulltrabook it could be useful for satisfying my curiosity on the trip back form
the synchrotron.
