For all the sweeps, processing stopped with an [[Problems#IDXREF_ends_with_message|error message]] after the IDXREF step. By inspecting IDXREF.LP, one should make sure that everything works as it should, i.e. that a large percentage of reflections was actually indexed nicely:
Then, run "xds_par". It completes after about 5 minutes on a fast machine, and we may inspect (at least) IDXREF.LP and CORRECT.LP (see below), and use "XDS-viewer FRAME.cbf" to get a visual impression of the integration as it applies to the last frame.

It may be possible to adjust some parameters (for COLSPOT) so that the error message does not occur, but it is not worth the effort. So we just change
=== Optimization ===
JOBS=XYCORR INIT COLSPOT IDXREF DEFPIX INTEGRATE CORRECT
to
JOBS=DEFPIX INTEGRATE CORRECT
and run "xds_par" again. It completes after about 5 minutes on a fast machine, and we may inspect CORRECT.LP .


The main target of optimization is the asymptotic (i.e. best) I/sigma (ISa) (Diederichs (2010) [http://dx.doi.org/10.1107/S0907444910014836 Acta Cryst. D 66, 733-40]) as printed out by CORRECT (and XSCALE). A higher ISa should mean better data.


== timings for processing sweep "e" as a function of MAXIMUM_NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS and MAXIMUM_NUMBER_OF_JOBS ==
However: ISa also rises if more reflections are thrown out as outliers ("misfits") so it is not considered to be optimization if just WFAC1 is reduced. Please note that the default WFAC1 is 1; this should result in the rejection of about 1% of observations. If you feel that 1% is too much then just increase WFAC1, to, say, 1.5 - that should result in rejection of less than (say) 0.1%. This will slightly increase completeness, but will reduce I/sigma and ISa, and increase R-factors.


The following is going to be rather technical! If you are only interested in crystallography, skip this.
The following quantities may be tested for their influence on ISa:
* copying GXPARM.XDS to XPARM.XDS
* including the information from the first integration pass into XDS.INP - just do "grep _E INTEGRATE.LP|tail -2" and get e.g.
BEAM_DIVERGENCE=  0.386  BEAM_DIVERGENCE_E.S.D.=  0.039
REFLECTING_RANGE=  0.669  REFLECTING_RANGE_E.S.D.=  0.096
copy these two lines into XDS.INP
* prevent refinement in INTEGRATE: REFINE(INTEGRATE)= !

The number of "misfits" (rejections) is higher than expected (1 %). Either one considers the anomalous signal (of the 6 sulfurs) to be significant, or one simply increases WFAC1 from its default of 1, to (say) 1.2 .


Using
=== [[XDS.INP]]; optimized ===
  MAXIMUM_NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS=1
Using the output of "grep _E INTEGRATE.LP|tail -2" edit XDS.INP to have
  MAXIMUM_NUMBER_OF_JOBS=16
  JOB= INTEGRATE CORRECT

Using
Then "cp GXPARM.XDS XPARM.XDS", and then another round of "xds_par". Five minutes later, we get:
MAXIMUM_NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS=4
MAXIMUM_NUMBER_OF_JOBS=4
the times are
total cpu time used              2102.8 sec
total elapsed wall-clock time      315.6 sec


Using
=== [[CORRECT.LP]] optimization pass ===
MAXIMUM_NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS=16 ! the default for xds_par on a 16-core machine
MAXIMUM_NUMBER_OF_JOBS=1 ! the default
the times are
total cpu time used              2833.4 sec
total elapsed wall-clock time      566.5 sec
but please note that this actually only uses 10 processors, since the default DELPHI=5
and the OSCILLATION_RANGE is 0.5°.


Using
This looks a little bit better - less standard deviation, higher ISa, better R-factors, less misfits:
MAXIMUM_NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS=4
MAXIMUM_NUMBER_OF_JOBS=8
(thus overcommitting the available cores by a factor of 2) the times are

Thus,
=== further optimization ===
MAXIMUM_NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS=4
MAXIMUM_NUMBER_OF_JOBS=6
performs best for a 2-Xeon X5570 machine with 24GB of memory and a RAID1 consisting of 2 1TB SATA disks. It should be noted that the dataset has 27GB, and in 296 seconds this means 92 MB/s continuous reading. The processing time is thus limited by the disk access, not by the CPU. And no, the data are not simply read from RAM (tested by "echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches before the XDS run).


== Example: sweep e ==
Another round of optimization again improves the R-factors and I/sigma at high resolution a bit, but it also increased the misfits back to 8200. At this point I decided to switch to FRIEDEL'S_LAW=FALSE, and the resulting table is:

and there are about 1500 rejected reflections. It is reassuring to note that the error model works well; the ISa goes down toward sweep h probably because the crystal degrades. But see also the "a posterior remarks" below - sweep h is the one that is most affected by a shadow on the detector.

If two more resolution shells are added, they look like -
    0.64      23276    7411      9155      81.0%      35.0%    40.6%    22324    2.90    41.7%    47.9%    3%  0.683    3204

So there is still useful signal beyond 0.65 A.


== Some ''a posteriori'' remarks ==


* For sweeps e-h one should use TRUSTED_REGION= 0 1.2 since that already gives 0.626 A in the corners.


== Comparison of data processing: published ''vs'' XDS results ==
* The first and last frames of sweeps g and h show a shadow in one corner of the detector. Nothing was done by me to exclude this shadow from processing (but one should do so at least if the resolution should be expanded beyond 0.65 A which the XSCALE statistics suggest to be possible). <br> One could experiment with MINIMUM_VALID_PIXEL_VALUE= 40 (or so) instead of 1 - I'd probably try that, but of course one does not want to exclude valid pixels so the result has to be carefully checked. <br> Anyway, there is no general facility in XDS to exclude bad areas of ''specific'' frames in a dataset; one needs to chop the dataset into parts and deal with each shadow separately.

== Availability of data from XDS processing ==
I changed XSCALE.INP to have

f2mtz HKLOUT temp.mtz<F2MTZ.INP
cad HKLIN1 temp.mtz HKLOUT output_file_name.mtz<<EOF

and obtain output_file_name.mtz which I mv to [https://{{SERVERNAME}}/pub/xds-datared/2vb1/xds-hewl-I.mtz xds-hewl-I.mtz]. SFCHECK statistics for this file are [https://{{SERVERNAME}}/pub/xds-datared/2vb1/sfcheck_XXXX.pdf here].

This reports processing of triclinic hen egg-white lysozyme data @ 0.65Å resolution (PDB id 2VB1). Data (sweeps a to h, each comprising 60 to 360 frames of 72MB) were collected by Zbigniew Dauter at APS 19-ID and are available from here. Details of data collection, processing and refinement are published.

XDS processing

  1. use generate_XDS.INP to obtain a good starting point
  2. edit XDS.INP and change/add the following:
ORGX=3130 ORGY=3040  ! for ADSC, header values are subject to interpretation; these values from visual inspection
! the following is for masking the beamstop shadow in sweeps c-d
UNTRUSTED_RECTANGLE=0 3189 2960 3087 ! use XDS-viewer of ADXV to find the values 
! the following is for sweeps e-h
UNTRUSTED_RECTANGLE=1 3160 3000 3070
TRUSTED_REGION=0 1.5 ! we want the whole detector area
ROTATION_AXIS=-1 0 0 ! at this beamline the spindle goes backwards!
SILICON=34.812736 ! account for theta-dependant absorption in the CCD's phosphor. The correction is only 
! significant for hi-res data; 34.812736=32*(value for silicon as printed to CORRECT.LP if SILICON= not given)
MAXIMUM_NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS=4 ! for fast processing on a machine with many cores (e.g. for 16 cores)
MAXIMUM_NUMBER_OF_JOBS=6 ! "overcommit" the available cores but on the whole this produces results faster
SPACE_GROUP_NUMBER=1                   ! this is known
UNIT_CELL_CONSTANTS=  27.07 31.25 33.76 87.98 108.00 112.11  ! from 2vb1
FRIEDEL'S_LAW=TRUE  ! we're not concerned with the anomalous signal

Then, run "xds_par". It completes after about 5 minutes on a fast machine, and we may inspect (at least) IDXREF.LP and CORRECT.LP (see below), and use "XDS-viewer FRAME.cbf" to get a visual impression of the integration as it applies to the last frame. By inspecting IDXREF.LP, one should make sure that everything works as it should, i.e. that a large percentage of reflections was actually indexed nicely, e.g.: 

...
  63879 OUT OF   72321 SPOTS INDEXED.
...

***** DIFFRACTION PARAMETERS USED AT START OF INTEGRATION *****

REFINED VALUES OF DIFFRACTION PARAMETERS DERIVED FROM  63879 INDEXED SPOTS
REFINED PARAMETERS:   DISTANCE BEAM AXIS CELL ORIENTATION    
STANDARD DEVIATION OF SPOT    POSITION (PIXELS)     0.53
STANDARD DEVIATION OF SPINDLE POSITION (DEGREES)    0.12

Optimization

The main target of optimization is the asymptotic (i.e. best) I/sigma (ISa) (Diederichs (2010) Acta Cryst. D 66, 733-40) as printed out by CORRECT (and XSCALE). A higher ISa should mean better data.

However: ISa also rises if more reflections are thrown out as outliers ("misfits") so it is not considered to be optimization if just WFAC1 is reduced. Please note that the default WFAC1 is 1; this should result in the rejection of about 1% of observations. If you feel that 1% is too much then just increase WFAC1, to, say, 1.5 - that should result in rejection of less than (say) 0.1%. This will slightly increase completeness, but will reduce I/sigma and ISa, and increase R-factors.

The following quantities may be tested for their influence on ISa:

  • copying GXPARM.XDS to XPARM.XDS
  • including the information from the first integration pass into XDS.INP - just do "grep _E INTEGRATE.LP|tail -2" and get e.g.
BEAM_DIVERGENCE=   0.386  BEAM_DIVERGENCE_E.S.D.=   0.039
REFLECTING_RANGE=  0.669  REFLECTING_RANGE_E.S.D.=  0.096

copy these two lines into XDS.INP

  • prevent refinement in INTEGRATE: REFINE(INTEGRATE)= !

Example: sweep e

XDS.INP; as generated by generate_XDS.INP

generate_XDS.INP "../../APS/19-ID/2vb1/p1lyso_e.0???.img"

The number of "misfits" (rejections) is higher than expected (1 %). Either one considers the anomalous signal (of the 6 sulfurs) to be significant, or one simply increases WFAC1 from its default of 1, to (say) 1.2 .

XDS.INP; optimized

Using the output of "grep _E INTEGRATE.LP|tail -2" edit XDS.INP to have 

JOB= INTEGRATE CORRECT
BEAM_DIVERGENCE=   0.428  BEAM_DIVERGENCE_E.S.D.=   0.043
REFLECTING_RANGE=  0.880  REFLECTING_RANGE_E.S.D.=  0.126
... 
REFINE(INTEGRATE)= !

Then "cp GXPARM.XDS XPARM.XDS", and then another round of "xds_par". Five minutes later, we get:

CORRECT.LP optimization pass

This looks a little bit better - less standard deviation, higher ISa, better R-factors, less misfits:

further optimization

Another round of optimization again improves the R-factors and I/sigma at high resolution a bit, but it also increased the misfits back to 8200. At this point I decided to switch to FRIEDEL'S_LAW=FALSE, and the resulting table is:

Indeed this brings the number of misfits to well below 1%, and it does make some sense.

and there are about 1500 rejected reflections. It is reassuring to note that the error model works well; the ISa goes down toward sweep h probably because the crystal degrades. But see also the "a posterior remarks" below - sweep h is the one that is most affected by a shadow on the detector.

If two more resolution shells are added, they look like - 

    0.64       23276    7411      9155       81.0%      35.0%     40.6%    22324    2.90    41.7%    47.9%     3%   0.683    3204

So there is still useful signal beyond 0.65 A.

Some a posteriori remarks

  • For sweeps e-h one should use TRUSTED_REGION= 0 1.2 since that already gives 0.626 A in the corners.
  • The first and last frames of sweeps g and h show a shadow in one corner of the detector. Nothing was done by me to exclude this shadow from processing (but one should do so at least if the resolution should be expanded beyond 0.65 A which the XSCALE statistics suggest to be possible).
    One could experiment with MINIMUM_VALID_PIXEL_VALUE= 40 (or so) instead of 1 - I'd probably try that, but of course one does not want to exclude valid pixels so the result has to be carefully checked.
    Anyway, there is no general facility in XDS to exclude bad areas of specific frames in a dataset; one needs to chop the dataset into parts and deal with each shadow separately.

Availability of data from XDS processing

I changed XSCALE.INP to have 

!FRIEDEL'S_LAW=TRUE  ! by commenting it out XSCALE will use FRIEDEL'S_LAW=FALSE
!                      since this is how the data were processed
RESOLUTION_SHELLS=2.91 2.06 1.68 1.45 1.30 1.19 1.10 1.03 0.97 0.92 0.88 0.84 0.80 0.76 0.73 0.70 0.67 0.65 0.64 0.63

and ran XSCALE again, to get a file with reflections to 0.63 A.

Conversion to other program systems is performed with XDSCONV. XDSCONV.INP for producing a MTZ file with intensities and anomalous signal is: 

INPUT_FILE= lys-xds.ahkl
OUTPUT_FILE=temp.hkl CCP4_I

After running xdsconv, I cut-and-paste the screen output: 

f2mtz HKLOUT temp.mtz<F2MTZ.INP
cad HKLIN1 temp.mtz HKLOUT output_file_name.mtz<<EOF
LABIN FILE 1 ALL
END
EOF

and obtain output_file_name.mtz which I mv to xds-hewl-I.mtz. SFCHECK statistics for this file are here.

Similarly, using OUTPUT_FILE=temp.hkl CCP4 I obtained a file with amplitudes, xds-hewl-F.mtz
