Description

"CryoSPARC (Cryo-EM Single Particle Ab-Initio Reconstruction and Classification) is a state of the art HPC software solution for complete processing of single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) data. CryoSPARC is useful for solving cryo-EM structures of membrane proteins, viruses, complexes, flexible molecules, small particles, phase plate data and negative stain data." For more information, please see https://guide.cryosparc.com/.

NOTE: Users are required to be added into GACRC cryosparc group before being allowed to run this software. Please fill out the GACRC General Support form to request. We will reach out to you once we received your request.

Configurations

Master node VM:

1. Host name: ss-cryo.gacrc.uga.edu
2. Intel Xeon processors (8 cores and 24GB of RAM)
3. mongodb is installed

cryoSPARC group: cryosparc

cryoSPARC group space: /work/cryosparc/ . There are 6 sub-directories in /work/cryosparc/ :

1. cryosparc_master/ , cryosparc_worker/ : master and worker installation folders
2. database/ : cryoSPARC database folder
3. users/ : cryoSPARC user project folder
4. cryosparc_cluster/ : the folder storing cluster integration scripts
5. testdataset/ : the folder storing cryoSPARC test data
6. src_v3.3.1/ : the folder storing cryoSPARC sources v3.3.1

Worker nodes:

1. Two NVIDIA Tesla K40m nodes, Intel Xeon processors (16 cores and 128GB of RAM) and 8 NVIDIA K40m GPU cards per node.
2. cryoSPARC recommends to use SSD or caching particle data. /lscratch/gacrc-cryo was set up on worker nodes for this purpose.
3. The amount of space that cryoSPARC can use in /lscratch/gacrc-cryo is capped at 100GB.
