Hello,
According to https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-video-codec-sdk#gpulist , GRID card is not limited to 2 encode sessions per system. I have two GRID K1 card in my host, but i can’t to start more than 2 encoding sessions. I try to start parallel 3 instances of nvenc sample from nvenc_4.0.0_linux_sdk and for one of it I have message:
File: src/CNVEncoder.cpp, Line: 1872, nvEncOpenEncodeSessionEx() returned with error 10
Note: GUID key may be invalid or incorrect. Recommend to upgrade your drivers and obtain a new key
NVENC error at src/CNVEncoder.cpp:1874 code=10(NVENC indicates that the API call failed because it was unable to allocate enough memory to perform the requested operation.) "nvStatus"
On this host I have: Debuan 7, CUDA 7, NVIDIA driver v. 346.59, nvenc_4.0.0_linux_sdk.
Do I need to install some additional software or get special license key for running more than two encoding sessions?
