General / License Deactivation/Reactivation Issues - Cannot connect to license server

« on: March 24, 2023, 02:08:03 PM »

Has anyone else lost the ability to deactivated/activate Metashape?

Nothing has changed with my network and circa yesterday afternoon I seem to not be able to access the license server anymore?

Just checking before I spend a bunch of time on it that it's not a similar issue to last summer?

General / Metashape Network Processing - Arguments and Definitions

« on: February 28, 2023, 06:27:36 PM »

Hi there,

Does anyone have a full list of all the available network processing arguments and a short description of each?

The basics are covered in the manual but I have un-earthed a great number of other arguments such as --inprocess that would have been of great use to me upon originally setting up my business' network.

Makes me think there are way more out there I don't know!

Kind regards,

Juan

General / Runaway RAM usage on first processing node causing processing failures

« on: February 22, 2022, 02:42:12 PM »

Hi all,

I have recently been testing the network processing feature on our array of company modelling PCs.

I am encountering an error in which the first processing node seems to parse/preload data and run out of RAM, causing a Unexpected Process Termination error message. Please see attached image. The system will then repeat the process, failing at the point at which it cannot be allocated any more memory.

Each processing node is equipped with 64GBs RAM & dual RTX 2080 supers (or similar).

I am aware that 64GBs of RAM is not by any means enough for the type of projects I am doing here, but I had assumed that the network processing feature would share the load in a way that would not cause errors like this.

Will network processing always parse/preload data on the first node before allocating tasks to the remaining nodes?

If this is the case, would it make sense to upgrade the 'main' node to 128GB ram or similar and leave the remaining nodes as they are? Or will I see this problem replicated on other nodes despite upgrading the main one?

I hope this makes sense! I would appreciate any input, cheers! 

Kind regards,

Juan Shimmin
