Hi Alexey,
I only started using this system for Metashape about 2 months ago, and I've always gotten the same errors; it has never worked correctly.
I do not get these errors in the image matching stage, only dense point cloud stage. However, in the image matching stage, the GPU utilization, according to nvidia-smi, is usually only around 3%. During dense cloud (when the problems occur) utilization is usually around 50-75%.
I just ran a GPU stress test for 24 hours (
https://github.com/wilicc/gpu-burn) on the same system. GPU utilization was around 99% and I got no errors.
Unfortunately I don't have the option of installing older drivers. I tried and it caused many package conflicts and I was unable to run nvidia-smi, and the system support told me it's not possible because of the way the vGPU system works (the driver needs to be set by the hypervisor, which allocates GPU slices to the VMs).
Is there any form of Metashape logging I can turn on that might help diagnose this problem?
Based on a suggestion in another thread (
https://www.agisoft.com/forum/index.php?topic=11771.15), I tried to set the tweak "main/depth_max_gpu_multiplier" to "1", but it did not change anything. During the depth map/dense cloud stage, the terminal still says
[GPU 1] ...
[GPU 2] ...
[GPU 1] ...
[GPU 2] ...and this is the stage where the problems occur. The way I tried to set the tweak using the python API is:
Metashape.app.settings.setValue("main/depth_max_gpu_multiplier", 1)Is this correct? Even when I do this, I still get
[GPU 1] ... [GPU 2] ... , but I suspect the tweak is supposed to eliminate the
[GPU 2] computations.
Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you.
