#896202 — AI Laptops are just strange novel xBoxes (Re: AI dooms day escape: Güttinger Wald)

Hi,

We can thank the gamers, that GPUs developed muscles:

The global video game industry contributes hundreds
of billions to worldwide GDP, generating over $500
billion in total market volume. The global software
and services market alone accounts for an estimated
$255 billion, easily surpassing the film and recorded
music industries combined.

How it started:

How its going:

#896207 — TDR solutions --> work slicing (Re: AI Laptops are just strange novel xBoxes)

Hi,

Current workaround, for workloads which take
longer, regedit TdrDelay and TdrDdiDelay:

GPU drivers crash with long computations (TDR crash)
https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/substance-3d-painter/using/technical-support/technical-issues/gpu-issues/gpu-drivers-crash-with-long-computations-tdr-crash

Future solution is work slicing. Make the
GPU inferencing granular. Since I am using

a Hack virtual machine, adding a "Heartbeat"
should be possible, Dogelog Player has

already some auto-yield (*). Mostlikely this will
then prevent the OS from killing the GPU.

Will see! WebLLM etc.. can also do it.

Bye

(*) A browser does also kill a long runnning
JavaScript, it was a similar issue.

work great! A compute shader can take a field from say 30 seconds on a 
high performance multi-threaded cpu version down to around 3 seconds. 
The compute shader is using atomic operations for thread, or warp sync.
