I've got an interesting potential S-SAD solution that crops up rarely in a script I was using to trawl parameter space in phenix.hyss. Since I was not optimistic of the outcome I did not save all output files. Hyss appears to use a random number generator and allows the seed to be specified on the command line, so is there any way to figure out what random number seed it used based on the information written to stdout while the program is running ?
From the Python documentation for randon.seed(x):
"If x is omitted or None, current system time is used; current system time is also used to initialize the generator when the module is first imported." My guess is it's going to be very difficult to reproduce this. -Nat
