Multivariate GEMMA hangs (issue 243)

Tags

Description

https://github.com/genetics-statistics/GEMMA/issues/243

The simulated dataset was generated. Benjamin Chu writes: I think the main problem might be how I did the simulation. I believe it was something like

b ~ N(0, 1) # for k position of b only, others are 0
yi ~ N(xi^T * b, 1)

where yi is length 2 vector of phenotype, xi is length 10000 genotype vector (entries 0, 1 or 2), and b is length 10000 effect size vector but only k position of b is drawn from standard Normal. This might be a poor simulation model for GEMMA. Later I changed the simulation model and the divergence problem went away.

The following command finishes:

time ../../bin/gemma -bfile multivariate_2traits -k output/multivariate.cXX.txt -maf 0.0000001 -lmm 4 -n 1 2 -o gemma.polygenic.result
real    133m29.533s
user    133m31.746s
sys     0m5.064s

But is slow. A print statement shows close to a second is spent on every SNP:

0.83 9994,10000
0.82 9995,10000
0.81 9996,10000
0.80 9997,10000
0.80 9998,10000
0.80 9999,10000

Running the debugger on and hitting Ctrl-C repeatedly stops in the following places

Shows time is spent mostly in one place.

A profiler should help pinpoint where time is spent. The issue submitter admits that this is a contrived edge-case so I am not going to work on it until I start optimizing mvlmm. Just a quick check with gperftools (formerly the Google profiler) which is packaged in GNU Guix:

CalcSigma and CalcQi are worth looking into. Also cblas_dgemm may need some attention.

For now I am dropping this until I pick up the mvlmm speedups.
