Native ODM Windows GPU?

[elalib]

I am running my first test of ODM running natively on Windows. It does not seem to use GPU. Is this normal?

I see:

[INFO] CUDA drivers detected
[WARNING] Cannot use GPU for feature extraction: Cannot initialize CUDA

[Saijin_Naib]

Welcome!

Sorry for the trouble! Could you please start with giving me a bit more information about your system?

For instance:

1. Operating System and Version
   eg: Windows 11, MacOS 15.1, Ubuntu Linux 20.04LTS, etc…
2. Hardware Specifications
   eg: 32GB RAM, i7-6700k, NVIDIA GTX 1050TI OC, 1TB SSD, etc…
3. WebODM Install Method
   eg: Native installer, Docker, Snap, GitHub download, compiled from source
4. WebODM/ODM Version
   eg: WebODM v1.9.12 Build 55, ODM v2.8.0, etc…
5. Procesing Node
   eg: Automatic, Lightning, local (node-odm-1), etc…
6. Screenshots demonstrating the issue/behavior/error messages

Thanks for the fast reply. Here is the info:

1. Windows 11
2. 32 GB RAM, 11th Gen Intel(R) Core™ i7-11800H @ 2.30GHz 2.30 GHz, 1 TB SSD, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop 8 GB
3. Native Windows ODM installer
4. ODM 2.8.5
5. sorry not sure about that one
6. Here’s the start of what I see, copy-pasted from console (still running). In bold is the CUDA/GPU message.

Hmmm… Thanks for this. This matches a number of other recent reports we’ve had from users on builds newer than v1.9.11 Build 58, all on hardware and software that should be appropriate for GPU feature extraction.

See:

Native ODM Windows -- Cannot Initialize Cuda

Hi all, Just trying the Windows native version of ODM [ODM.exe]. I have an NVIDIA GPU with CUDA installed. After the first few lines of processing, it says it detected CUDA drivers but the next line after it says [WARNING] Cannot use GPU for feature extraction: Cannot initialize CUDA and the process started using CPU instead. Anyone know what can be the problem of this? Thank you!

[Gordon]

With the latest build GPU feature extraction is again working for smaller images However, I still don’t understand why a 12MB M2P image can’t have its features extracted inside 4GB of GPU memory.
