Hi David,

I am also using orbitrap and the biggest collection of files I have used is 220 
!

I have a Win7 64 bit system with 8GB RAM and I have set the Heap Size to 4GB

One thing is that I don't convert to mzML I read the .RAW files directly which 
can be done if you install the Thermo MS Filereader software or Xcalibur. 
Unfortunately the XML formats are very wasteful in terms of space. It's a shame 
someone hasn't invented a compressed format.

One tricky issue is that Excalibur is not available in 64 bit version just yet 
I seem to recall using regsvr32.exe to register Xrawfile.dll but be aware of 
the following:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/282747
>When you attempt to run Regsvr32.exe to register a 32-bit dynamic-link library 
>(DLL) on a 64-bit version of Windows, you receive the following error message:
>Filename.dll is not an executable file and no registration helper is 
>registered for this file type.
>
>This behavior occurs because the Regsvr32.exe file in the System32 folder is a 
>64-bit version. When you run Regsvr32 to register a DLL, you are using the 
>64->bit version by default.
>
>To resolve this issue, run Regsvr32.exe from the %SystemRoot%\Syswow64 folder. 
>For example, type the following commands to register the DLL:
>cd \windows\syswow64
>regsvr32 c:\filename.dll

Another workaround is to install Xcalibur on your 32 bit PC, load the data as 
.RAW then save the mzMine project and transfer to your 64bit PC where you will 
be able to open the project.

Hope this helps,

Mark

Summary: Poor performance rendering many chromatograms at once

Initial Comment:
If the user selects many (10+) raw data files and plots a TIC of them then 
performance can be quite poor (particularly for raw data files with many data 
points).

The problem seems to be that the TICDataSet generates a refresh event every 
100ms with the result being that when multiple TICs are plotted MZmine spends 
most of its time redrawing the chromatograms and little time generating the 
data set.

The fix is to remove this periodic refresh and simply refresh only when each 
TICDataSet completes calculating its values.

Hi David,

You have 30 files of 250 MB, that is ~ 8BG of data.. I think 4 GB of RAM should 
be enough to process that.
Of course, it depends on your parameter settings - e.g. if you set the noise 
level too low, it will generate too many noise peaks and you may run out of 
memory.
Using centroided files would reduce the memory usage significantly.

Tomas

Dear MZmine team,
I've 8 MS spectra (ESI/(LIT)MS-Thermo) to compare and each file contains both 
MS and MSn experiments. I'm interested in processing and comparing only fullMS 
spectra by MZmine.   At first I've applied the data set filter (crop filter) to 
define RT range for each spectra (different form each spectra). Then I've 
centroided all spectra, applied the Chromatogram builder and the Chromatogram 
deconvolution (Baseline cut off) to obtain my MZmine peak list. My question is 
about the peak list alignment (Join aligner): what about the parameters for 
retention time? Just because I'm processing MS spectra (so RT is not the main 
parameter)I've tried with a RT tolerance value very high (10 and) and a RT 
weight very low (0.5) but I'm not sure.. Infact My final peak aligned list 
excludes some important m/z values present in all my MS spectra..
Could you please help me?

Kind regards
Angela

Hej MZmine team,

It appears I am having a similar problem like David Lyon (posted on 2011-12-14).

I have run some environmental samples on an LTQ Velos in full scan, 
data-dependent MSn and PDA. The size of the raw files is circa 180 MB in the 
negative mode and 40 MB in positive ionization.

I am working with MZmine 2.4 on an octacore server with 16 GB RAM running 
Ubuntu (64Bit). My heap size is 14 GB. Processing of the data according to the 
workflow works fine until the RAM gets full. The fuller it is the slower the 
processing. This appears when I run the mass detection (exact mass) even with 
only 16 samples. Chromatogram detection is even worse. It takes app. 6 h 
computation with the local minimum algorithm. Sometimes the computer manages 
the calculation (when I wait long enough), sometimes it produces an 
"outofmemoryerror: gc overhead" error.

I have tried the following without any improvement:
- calculate on a Windows 7 machine and on MacOS X
- calculate with MZmine 2.3
- increase noise level during mass detection
- crop the PDA and MSn data from the raw files (files don't get really smaller)
- convert to mzXML (files get much smaller, from 180 MB to 30 MB, but same 
problem)

I did similar calculations with similar samples in MZmine 2.2 and never 
experienced problems. Now I'm running out of ideas. It appears to be a problem 
with the JavaVM rather than with MZmine but I don't know how to solve that.

Thanks for your help & all the best from snowy Germany!

Martin

Hi Martin, David,

If the error is reproducible, I would like to take a look at it in detail. But 
I will need your cooperation.
Could you prepare a ZIP archive of your raw files, and send it to me e.g. via 
rapidshare.com, dropbox.com or some other sharing website?
Also, please include the exact settings in your startMZmine script, and the 
exact steps and parameters you used for processing.

Thanks a lot!

Tomas
