GFS Performance experiments

by Brian | 12th October 2009

The trick with problem sets so sparsely filled with noteworthy information is skipping as many processing steps as possible without marring the final results by skipping something important. I have made some modifications to GFS and am testing those now: If MSMSFit goes through all of the y-ions and finds less than 12% match then [...] Read More

Tandem Mass data hash

by Brian | 9th October 2009

“Tandem mass data hash,” try to say that five times fast. To get a better feel for how MS/MS data will be represented as a hash I wrote a quick visualizer. How the MSMS data is hashed: an NxM bin matrix is computed where N is the number of bins to store mass and M [...] Read More

XCode not recognizing break points

by Brian | 9th October 2009

This was confusing the hell out of me. I’d have an fprintf call that would say something like “loading spectra…” and a breakpoint before that and in the console it would still print “loading spectra…” and continue on its merry way like the breakpoint didn’t even exist. So what’s the real problem? I don’t know [...] Read More

How GFS handles MS/MS files

by Brian | 8th October 2009

I’m curious if a job on one DTA/PKL file with N spectra will run faster than a job that processes the exact same data broken into N different files. I just wrote a quick java app to take OutputFile2.dta which has 112 spectra and split it into 112 different dta files. At the moment I [...] Read More
