Smart Recording on GPU-1 Also Loads Processes on GPU-0

[Fiona.Chen]

Have you installed the necessary packages?

If you are using DeepStream docker, there is /opt/nvidia/deepstream/deepstream/user_deepstream_python_apps_install.sh script to help you to install the necessary packages. You can copy the script out if you are working in local.

Below .zip file consists of 4 files which we have changed to build smart record bindings.
smart_record_bindings.zip (11.2 KB)
Below are the paths for all those 4 files.

pyds.cpp-----------------> sources/ deepstream-python-apps/ bindings/src
utils.cpp------------------> sources/ deepstream-python-apps/ bindings/src
bindfunctions.cpp ---------------------> sources/ deepstream-python-apps/ bindings/src
utils.hpp-------------------> sources/ deepstream-python-apps/ bindings/include

Can you please go through the 4 files of smart record bindings here ☝️ and let us know if you find any mistakes?

@Fiona.Chen

The command is

export NVDS_TEST3_PERF_MODE=1
./deepstream-test3-app rtsp://xxxx

deepstream_test3_app.c (22.0 KB)

@Fiona.Chen I have tried your .c code in both deepstream-7.0 and deepstream-7.1 and still process getting created in GPU-0.
Please repeat the same deepstream_test3_app.c you have provided again and check if any process getting created in GPU-0 also. Run it for atleast 10 minutes and share us the nvidia-smi image as below for our better understanding.

Below is the nvidia-smi of deepstream-7.0

Below is the nvidia-smi of deepstream-7.1

Thanks.

Hi, @s.Jagannath

The deepstream_test3_app.c I post can run on GPU 1 only.

[Fiona.Chen]

The GPU loading measurement can be done by the command “nvidia-smi dmon”

[s.Jagannath]

Please someone share us your deepstream-7.1 smart record bindings @Fiona.Chen @fanzh

It is not python binding issue. You need to run your app with the work around. No app change is needed.
