[phenixbb] Discrepancy between Phenix GUI and command line for MR

[Randy John Read]

Hi Xavier,

We haven’t noticed that, or at least any effect is small enough not to stand out. There shouldn’t be a lot of overhead in communicating with the GUI (i.e. updating the terse log output and the graphs) but if there is we should look into it and see if we can do something about it.

Could you tell me how much longer (say, in percentage terms) a job takes when you run it through the GUI compared to running the same job outside the GUI on the same computer? Also, it’s possible the architecture matters so could you say which type of computer and operating system you’re using? If it’s a Mac, is it one with an Intel processor or an ARM (M1 or M2) processor? (By the way, we finally managed to track down and fix an issue that cause Phaser to run really slowly on an M1 or M2 Mac when using the version compiled for Intel, once I got my hands on a new Mac.)

Best wishes,

Randy
