  • Cufflinks 'std::bad_alloc'

    Hello all,

    Can anyone suggest a reason for, or potential fix to, Cufflinks quitting with the following error?

    terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'

    I am running Cufflinks 0.9.3 on an Amazon instance of Fedora linux with 7GB of memory (and 500Gb storage). I am analyzing large (Illumina PE 101bp HiSeq) .bam files (>5Gb).

    As I am using the Amazon EC2, I can activate another instance with more 'RAM' (up to 32GB), and see if this helps. I will post for others' reference to see if this fixes my problem. If anyone has suggestions though, please post for my reference!

    Any other comments are much appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Dan

    Update: After trying a few different things and talking briefly with Adam Roberts (Developer on Cufflinks), it seems like the problem is with the specific binary that I downloaded (linux x86_64) and the specific version of linux I was running (fedora). I was able to fix the problem by running this locally on my mac using the Mac OSX binary. Alternatively, it was suggested to build Cufflinks from source rather than grabbing a binary. Had some trouble installing boost libraries, so for now will just stick with OSX. Note: the same library that is throwing the error before now takes >24 hours on a similar machine as what I was running on Linux.

    Having the same the problem, with no solutions. However our BAM file is 31GB in size. We are running this on a system with 12 cpus and 32GB of RAM.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

      I got the same error message with a BAM file of about 500 MB on a 4-CPU machines with 12 GB RAM. It is a 64 bits Linux distribution (kernel 2.6.18); I will try to launch the same cufflink job on my Mac to see if it makes a difference.

        I compiled cuffdiff from source and still get this error:

        terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
        what(): std::bad_alloc

        I am using cufflinks 1.0.3 on Ubuntu 10.10, kernel 2.6.35-30-generic.

          Hi all,

          I'm having the same problem running cufflinks v1.0.3 on a 64 bit Centos OS, 16Gb of RAM

          has anyone solved this?


          thanks in advance

            For me it turned out, that this error message probably occurred due to insufficient memory. I ran the same job on a cluster without any problems. Cuffdiff used over 32GB of ram + some swap.

              Hi,

              I just finished a project with cufflinks last week (Redhat 64bit with latest Tophat and Cufflinks, 24 cores and 32G memory) without any problem. One way to trouble-shoot is to reduce the read counts and/or split the reference sequences. Usually if memory is the bottleneck, these measures will solve the problem, or at least confirm the root cause.

              Thank you,
              Douglas

                sudden std bad alloc

                I've been running bedtools on a virtual machine and have used genomeCoverageBed to make bedgraph files for months now. I didn't change anything, and all of a sudden the script throws std bad alloc. How was there enough memory yesterday but not today? Any ideas on how I can troubleshoot? I'm completely at a loss.

                  Hi Everyone

                  I have the same error, but i haven't access to a cluster.
                  My pc is using UBUNTU 12.04, Newbler 2.3.
                  It is 4 gb RAM
                  ...i have the error:
                  "...terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
                  what(): St9bad_alloc

                  Error: An internal error (exit status 134) has occurred in the computation.
                  Please report this error to your customer support representative."

                  Any solution?

                    You are most likely running out of memory. 4GB is unfortunately just not enough for many things now.

                      Do you know if there is some public server to run the assembly?

                          Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
                          by seqadmin


                          Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
