System Information
Operating system: Windows-10-10.0.22000-SP0 64 Bits
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.5.0 NVIDIA 526.86

Blender Version
Broken: version: 3.4.0 Alpha, branch: master, commit date: 2022-10-03 00:19, hash: d4d40f3b69
Worked: (newest version of Blender that worked as expected)

Short description of error
Blender crashes frequently when rendering Smoke Simulation (Manta Flow) with Cycles using GPU, when configured with either CUDA or OptiX, having checked both the CPU (Ryzen 7 3700X) and GPU (Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080). It looks like it only crashes when both checkboxes are activated.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Make a Smoke simulation using Manta Flow. It doesn't need to be a complex simulation, just any simulation
Change the render engine to cycles
Configure it to use either CUDA or OptiX, and enable both checkboxes to use CPU and GPU.
Render (nearly 90% of the times it crashes after some progress on the render).

I think this strongly depends on the Hardware I'm using.

Hi, thanks for the report. Please check again in newer development build: https://builder.blender.org/download/daily/
I tried to redo it locally with Quick Liquid but didn't get the crash

Crash may not be hardware specific. Please also upload crash logs:
Open Blender's installation directory and double click on the blender_debug_gpu.cmd. This will start Blender in debug mode and create log files. Try to reproduce the error again. Once it crashes or you close Blender manually the Windows Explorer should open and show you up to two files, a debug log and the system information. Add them to your bug report by clicking on the upload button as shown in the screenshot below or via drag and drop. Please also upload the crash log located in C:\Users\[your username]\AppData\Local\Temp\[project name].crash.txt (or simply type %TEMP% into the path bar of the Windows Explorer).

I tried it on the latest version of 3.5.0 Alpha and had to try a few times in order to reproduce it. I did reproduce it when I increased a little the Resolution of the Smoke Simulation. Here are the two logs files as requested. Regarding the other crash.txt file, I din't find it in the Temp directory.

Please let me know if you need anything else.

hi, thanks for the information. Does this happen in particular blend/volume file? say Grinder16.blend in this case? Could you attach it?
Perhaps crash happens due to high memory usage? Can you observe hardware utilization and memory usage at the time of crash?
I could not find any information associated with crash in log file.

Hi, I'm not sure if this only happens in a partular blend/volume file. I'm sorry but I can't provide this file, is for a client. I will check the memory usage and the hardware utilization, and try to reproduce it in a new file. I'll let you know when I find out something.
