Using GPU on the python module and disabling the CPU usage

[nys09@vt.edu]

How do we disable CPU using the python module for accelerated processing using GPU only? Any insight on this would be very helpful.

Thanks.

I would try:

PhotoScan.app.cpu_enable = False
PhotoScan.app.gpu_mask = mask

Where mask is a bit mask. Page 10 https://www.agisoft.com/pdf/photoscan_python_api_1_4_0.pdf

I would try:

PhotoScan.app.cpu_enable = False
PhotoScan.app.gpu_mask = mask

Similar in Metashape API (https://www.agisoft.com/pdf/metashape_python_api_1_5_5.pdf):

Code: [Select]

Metashape.app.cpu_enable = False
Metashape.app.gpu_mask = mask
to enable all the detected GPU instances:

Code: [Select]

mask = 2 ** len(Metashape.app.enumGPUDevices()) - 1
