GPU acceleration for tiled model generation

[jbak9141]

Hi Alexey,

I've been running a few tests generating tiled models with GPUs enabled (4x Tesla M60) on my local test bench and don't seem to be able to get any noticeable speed improvements or utilisation at all from the GPUs? I noticed the PhotoScan manual mentions that this operation should be GPU accelerated but it seems to be CPU only?

Is there a caveat or condition I'm missing here to get PhotoScan to use GPUs for tiled model generation?

Cheers,

J

Hey Alexey,

Just bumping this one, does this make any sense? We're expecting `chunk.buildTiledModel` to utilise GPU resources where it does not seem to at all.

Cheers,

Hello jbak9141,

Tiled Model Generation procedure would utilize GPU for some sub-steps only when the reconstruction from the Depth Maps is selected as a source.

Great, thanks Alexey, will test it out now
