Re: Stop During PsN

Dear Xinting, 1. This seems like an error during the NONMEM run itself. I suggest you run the same control stream with parallel nmfe72/73 on its own, without PsN, to see if the problem persists. If the model runs fine in parallel without PsN then please contact me directly and I will help you diagnose the problem. If the errors occurs independently of PsN then I hope someone else can help you. 2. You do not need to rerun the 13 iterations. To resume an interrupted scm it is always best, regardless of clean option, to set [included_relations] in the scm config file to the set of relations that were included at the time of the interruption. To see which those relations are you look in the scm logfile in the top level of the scm directory. Then you start a new scm run in a new directory with the new scm config file and the *same* input control stream as in the original run (no relations added in the input control stream). For details and syntax of the [included_relations] section please see the scm userguide.

During the running of PsN, I came across a problem where no computation takes place. After the usual conduction, during some step the process seemed to be stopped. Although for parallel processing the worker1 to worker5 directory was created, nothing followed Monitoring of Search in the OUTPUT, psn.lst file. This condition continued for 24 hours. I am not sure if this is a problem coming from the code or some errors with the computation system. Has anybody else come across a similar issue? 2. To reduce the hard disk burden I used -clean=3 in the scm process. However, after the process was stopped, it was impossible to resume the program using the statement -directory. Is it still possible resume the previous task? If so, how to? Repeating 13 rounds of problem is certainly something nobody want to do.
