When starting the dev server, you can pass in the argument "clean" (./startDevServer.sh clean) to clear the cache for ALL graphs.

To import all .fa and .fasta files in the "DNAStorage/to_import" folder, run "manage.py importfasta"

Management Commands

python manage.py blah

deletecache [graph_type graph_type ...] -e|--specimen=[specimen] -c|--chromosome=[chromosome] -s|--start=[start] -> Delete the cache of a certain graph type (Example: `python manage.py deletecache h --specimen=hg18 --chromosome=chrY-sample --start=65537`

purgeprocessqueue -> Purges all processes in the process queue database

getroundedindex [start_value] -> Tells you the actual chunk starting value for any given start index.

listgraphs -> List all registered graphs on the server (just a list of symbols)

importfasta -> Imports all the .fa or .fasta files that are correctly named in the DNAStorage/to_import folder

createSnpIndex -> Creates the SNP index database for reading 23andMe user info (Only needs to run once in server life)

Graph Types

• a : Annotation Display
• b : Nucleotide Bias
• h : Sequence Highlighter (Raster)
• m : Repeat Map
• o : Oligomer Usage
• n : Nucleotide Display (Raster)
• s : Similarity Heatmap
• t : Threemer Detector

Don't forget to edit the /etc/logrotate.d/apache2 file so it saves logs as 665 root www-data Also check file chain /var/log/apache2 to make sure that www-data can get in a rw

Thread Configurations

Apache httpd config under worker module: StartServers 2 ServerLimit 16 MaxClients 400 MinSpareThreads 25 MaxSpareThreads 75 ThreadsPerChild 25

WSGIDaemonProcess processes=8 threads=2 Note, this is static and doesn't create more as requests come in. The two times each other is the total number of python interpreters spawned and the max number of python requests that can be handled. Static files and assets are NOT served off of this. They are served off of the Apache threads that are dynamically spawned from above.

Compile C Functions

1. Create your .c file
2. Convert it to an object file gcc -O3 -c -fPIC yourFile.c -o yourFile.o
3. Create Shared Library from object file gcc -shared -Wl,-soname,libYourLib.so.1 -o libYourLib.so.1.0.1 yourFile.o
4. import ctypes
5. yourLib = ctypes.CDLL('/path/to/libYourLib.so.1.0.1')
6. yourLib.MyFunction()

On Windows

1. Open Visual Studio x64 Win64 Command Prompt
2. cd into SkittleCore\Graphs
3. Run cl /Ox /LD SkittleGraphUtils.c /FelibSkittleGraphUtils # NOTE: Yes, there is no space after /fe and the file name.

If the function returns a string do this) returnedString = ctypes.c_char_p(yourLib.MyFunction()); print returnedString.value NOTE: Python C Data Types: http://docs.python.org/2/library/ctypes.html#fundamental-data-types

To convert a list to C array) arr = (ctypes.c_int * len(yourlist))(*yourlist)

Database Evolutions

ANY changes to a model file must be passed to Bryan for a custom evolution script to be created.

Notes to self

This is for dealing with multi-thread access to the database. We need a persistent connection, but django doesn't support this until the future 1.6 release. For a temporary fix, edit the django source: django/db/init.py comment out signals.request_finished.connect(close_connection) django/middleware/transaction.py remove the two transaction.is_dirty() and call commit() instead.
