Thanks for your effort!

When looking into the "latest" releases there are now three windows versions: CUDA, OCL and non-OCL.
When trying to open LuxCoreUI from the CUDA version I get this:

Of BlendLuxCore there is no separate CUDA version.

Sorry I don't know anything about building myself, just want to give feedback on the latest releases on Azure.

Thank you for your feedback! :)
Indeed, there is something still to be fixed: gathering the required dll for for cuda version is not working at the moment, I am looking into that.
As soon as everything works, I will add it also to BlendLuxcore.

According: https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/nvrtc/index.html

The requirements on Windows are:
- nvrtc64_Major Release VersionMinor Release Version.dll
- nvrtc-builtins64_Major Release VersionMinor Release Version.dll

@KintuX, as work around, you can install CUDA SDK v10.1.

I was assuming NVRTC (Run Time Compiler) was included in NVIDIA drivers but I guess, it isn't. This could be annoying.

Anyway, from my understanding of the NVIDIA license, we are allowed to redistribute part of their SDK: https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/eula/index ... er-license and https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/eula/index ... tachment-a

The problem was in this line that should make a script variable available to the rest of the pipeline job:

Code: Select all

echo "##vso[task.setvariable variable=cuda.path]%CUDA_PATH%"
Apparently, in a CMD shell a bug causes a wrong output value, i.e. one double quote character at the end of the value, which then prevents the file copy from working.
Doing it with a bash script solved it.

I have a faint hope that this long debugging is close to an end...

Yes, those are the two files I was trying to retrieve from the Cuda installation, and they are not included in the drivers.
The cuda runtime, instead, is there.

One more thing to note, according to Nvidia docs:
Each release of the CUDA Toolkit requires a minimum version of the CUDA driver. The CUDA driver is backward compatible, meaning that applications compiled against a particular version of the CUDA will continue to work on subsequent (later) driver releases.
For version 10.1 the minimum driver version is 418.39 for Linux and 418.96 for Windows. Version 10.2 would need at least drivers 440/441.

Update:
With the newest version of luxcorerender-latest-win64-cuda (c72dd9e) I can open the cornell-box scene included.
Once I switch to "PathOCL" it crashes immediately with no error message.
When switching to RTPathOCL or TilePathOCL it compiles kernels first but crashes then before starting to render.

It may be related to having 2 CUDA devices, I have not tried the CUDA with multiple CUDA devices, have you tried to select only one ?

Yes, it is related to multi GPU config. It compiles the kernels and exit without error. The same happens if you change some render config with only one device selected, e. g. sampler or render size.

Because of the auto-start render in LuxCoreUI I cannot select a device there.
When I open the Cornell Box scene it starts rendering in PathCPU mode and OCL devices are not selectable.
Once I switch to OCL it crashes before I can select anything.

I exported something from Blender with PathOCL and only one RTX selected.
It crashes immediately when opened with LuxCoreUI cuda version.

Maybe LuxCoreUI should be updated with "PathHW" engine and device editor distinguishing between OCL and CUDA (and auto start disabled too ;) ).

Also in the real OCL, non-CUDA version of LuxCoreUI, when I switch from PathCPU to PathOCL (again Cornell scene) it starts rendering including all native devices (all GPU and CPU) although in the editor the CPU is not selected (I have no AMD Ryzen OCL driver installed).

Is there a way to have bare minimal files, since I really don't want to DL the whole 2.6 GB while needing maybe 10% of that... ?
To me every Byte matters. ;)
