We recently purchased a server with the following spec:
CPU - 2x AMD EPYC 7713 64-Core Processors
GPU - 2x NVIDIA RTX A600
RAM - 2TB DDR5
Storage - Lots of high speed SSD
The machine is great for alignment and texturing in RealityCapture, but either it takes forever to reconstruct low image numbers (0-3000), or it just stalls at about 2/3rd on any datasets that are larger than that.
We have been tearing our hair out trying to get this thing working as it should, but I’m out of ideas. It smashes the usual benchmarking tests, so it doesn’t seem to be a build error.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
NOTE: I contacted RC before we made the purchase to confirm that this machine should be suitable and so I assume it’s not just that it’s incapable.
Hello @ProNiteFox
This is quite strange for such machine.
What is the difference between the benchmarks and normal data? What are your reconstruction settings?
One thing I would try is to manually set windows swap to 150% of your current RAM so you would have 2TB + 150% on windows swap (keep in mind to use an SSD disk for that when you will all the time have at least 3 TB of storage left).
The minimum and maximum size of the Pagefile can be up to 1.5 times and 4 times of the physical memory that your computer has, respectively. For example, if your computer has 1GB of RAM, the minimum Pagefile size can be 1.5GB, and the maximum size of the file can be 4GB.
By default, Windows 10 automatically manages the Pagefile according to your computer’s configuration and the RAM present in it. However, if you ever face lagging while working on Windows 10, or you start getting the PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA or KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR Blue Screen of Death (BSOD), managing the size of the Pagefile manually is the first thing you should look for.
