Bug Reports / Bug with nvidia driver 364.51 ?

« on: March 19, 2016, 07:50:13 PM »

Hello,

I updated my graphic card drivers with the last nvidia whql release (after all the trouble with the two past whql/beta releases, anyway).

It seems that photoscan 1.2.3 is not recognizing my gpu opencl capabilities anymore, while everything seems to be in order through GPU Caps "OpenCL 1.2 CUDA 8.0.0" "364.51".

Am I the only one having trouble ?

General / Most effective use of network computing ?

« on: March 22, 2015, 02:11:05 AM »

Hi,

I set up a small network computing system, and I was wondering what was the most effective way of using it at its full potential ?

I read the manual, and launched some test, but I am still not quite sure how it works.
Say I have big building interior for which I have around 1000 photo allocated to four arbitrary spatial entities. Those arbitrary spaces are church spaces like : entrance, nave, choir, etc...

The right thing to do would be to make a chunk for every spatial entity, and work them independently throug alignment, dense cloud and meshing, until I bring them back together at the end ?

In fact I quite don't understand how each node is summoned. I thought  (naively perhaps) that I could launch an heavy task related to a big single chunk, and each node would take a part of the computing. Or maybe my setup is wrongly configured, because every time I launch a task, only one node is working while all ther others are desperately idling as "ready".

To be honest, it would be really helpful to add some processing tips into the manual, or some kind of showcase, like the doll or statue.

Best,
