launch ends with non zero status: 1 stop all computation

Asked by Dyson Kennedy

Hello,
I'm attempting to generate events with this process:
WZ2j
```
generate p p > w- z j, z > l+ l-, w- > l- vl~
add process p p > w+ z j, z > l+ l-, w+ > l+ vl
add process p p > w- z j j, z > l+ l-, w- > l- vl~
add process p p > w+ z j j, z > l+ l-, w+ > l+ vl
output /work/pi_mjrm_umass_edu/LNV_collider/Generated/WZ2j
```

and this run card:

```
generate_events

shower=Pythia8
detector=Delphes

set use_syst False
set automatic_html_opening False

set nevents 600
set ebeam1 6500
set ebeam2 6500
set cut_decays True
set ickkw 1
set xqcut 20
set ptj 20
set ptb 20
set ptl 20
set etaj 2.8
set etal 2.5

print_results
```
I have only 600 events in order to troubleshoot. In past experience this should complete within about 5 mins max. I have a similar process below which currently works well. However the WZ2j generation above gives an error but seems to continue. However, it never seems to complete.

ZZ2j
```
generate p p > z z j, z > l+ l-, z > l+ l-
add process p p > z z j j, z > l+ l-, z > l+ l-
output /work/pi_mjrm_umass_edu/LNV_collider/Generated/ZZ2j
```

and run card
```
generate_events

shower=Pythia8
detector=Delphes

set use_syst False
set automatic_html_opening False

set nevents 600
set ebeam1 6500
set ebeam2 6500
set cut_decays True
set ickkw 1
set xqcut 20
set ptj 20
set ptb 20
set ptl 20
set etaj 2.8
set etal 2.5

print_results
```
Here is the output from generating WZ2j

After this it seems to get stuck. One time it did about the same thing but it had `non-zero status: -9` I don't know if that means anything different

just naively, this happens quite often if you are using nobmass ckm model due to top quarks jumping in to the diagrams.

what is the model you are using and the process definition?

I can't tell why it can't find madgraph since my other event generation commands seem to work.

To your question, @shjeon, For these events, I'm just using SM. The processes are included in the original post

OK,

So running such command by hand is working
(I guess that you have a file /work/pi_mjrm_umass_edu/LNV_collider/Generated/WZ2j/Events/run_21/partials5.lhe.gz generated now)

The "No module named 'madgraph'" is perfectly fine, most of the generate_events steps can run with and without madgraph module (since the needed file are copied within the bin/internal/ directory. Actually for this specific command, it is really designed to run without madgraph (and it can lead to crash if madgraph module is available).

So given that the software is working, the only guess that remains is that this is a hardware limitation (or a fake software limitation like cgroup, ulimit or a quota issue). Maybe you can check the system log of the machine on which you run to see if the system kills the process and for which reason.

Thanks Olivier,
I'm circling back to this after working on another aspect of my project. I'm in the process of checking with the folks who run my cluster. What you're saying makes sense, but I'm not sure at all why this process would take so much longer than the other one I posted as comparison. In the past, both have been very comparable in time. The fact that it can time out on 600 events is worrisome in and of itself. Is there anything
/work/pi_mjrm_umass_edu/LNV_collider/Generated/WZ2j/Events/run_21/partials5.lhe.gz is generated. You're correct.

I thought I had tried this, but I just regenerated the process and it seems to be working smh
Thank you

Which then confirms that the issue is purely hardware related (or related to another user running on the same node/...).

Cheers,
