Compiling kernels just use around 7% of my CPU and no GPU on my PC and take almost 4 minutes to finish, My question is, is there a way to speed up this process by using more resources or something like that.
I tried to document kernel compile-time and write it everywhere but still, people think is a bug and they are not able to use GPU.

Re: Faster Compiling kernels
Kernel compilation is done by drivers, you should ask to NVIDIA/AMD/etc. The all use a single thread as far as I know.TAO wrote: ↑Thu Apr 29, 2021 2:04 pm Compiling kernels just use around 7% of my CPU and no GPU on my PC and take almost 4 minutes to finish, My question is, is there a way to speed up this process by using more resources or something like that.

LuxCore "v3.0" will require no compilation at runtime, not even the first time.

Re: Faster Compiling kernels
Awesome to hear!
Re: Faster Compiling kernels
If you provide pre-compiled kernels can't this lead to errors due to specific driver issues etc?
I often think that octane has sometimes bugs with memory leaks and freezing due to pre-compiled kernels but I don't know if that's the issue.
Re: Faster Compiling kernels
Only if the PTX version I compile for it is newer than one supported by the system installed driver. Like if I compile for CUDA 11 and you have CUDA 10 driver.
Re: Faster Compiling kernels
Even in this case, the kernel needs to be compile again and it will not produce any issues, am i right?

Re: Faster Compiling kernels
No, the driver it will throw an error because it can not understand new instruction (if they have been introduced) in PTX code.TAO wrote: ↑Thu Apr 29, 2021 8:30 pmEven in this case, the kernel needs to be compile again and it will not produce any issues, am i right?
Re: Faster Compiling kernels
What about the minimum requirements to use LuxCore? even Arnold in 3dsmax needs at least Nvidia driver 462 to render with GPU. (i forgot the exact version)Dade wrote: ↑Thu Apr 29, 2021 8:59 pmNo, the driver it will throw an error because it can not understand new instruction (if they have been introduced) in PTX code.
Also, we can check the driver version and see if it can meet the least requirement.
I know we already talk about the OpenCL as a dead-end especially that Nvidia never will update it but just to mention they release a new version of OpenCL 3.0.7 and Vulkan 1.2.177 just 3 days ago on 26 April I think.
