<p>Hello everyone,</p>
<p>I use a python multiprocessing script to run 1201 CT projections
on a 64 core CPU cluster. I run 64 processes (CT projections) on
the cluster in parallel. One process could look like this:</p>
<p><b>"Gate -a [rot_angle,8.9925062448][run_id,30] mac/ffdCT.mac"</b></p>
<p>But for some projections the simulation crashes and I obtain a
segmentation fault error. I restarted the failed projections with
only 32 parallel processes (still on the 64 core cluster) and they
ran through without errors.</p>
<p>Can anyone of you explain this strange behavior?<br>
</p>
Details of my simulation:<br>
- Fixed forced detection actor<br>
- 10**5 photons<br>
- histogram spectrum<br>
- Nested parameterization<br>
- cone beam setup<br>
- 64x64 resolution for the detector<br>
- 64x64x64 volume<br>
<br>
I am grateful for any help!<br>
Nico<br>
