Please help us confirm NVIDIA MX550 and Blender 3.1.0 compatibility, thanks.

Hi,
The system memory on the test system is 12GB and 16GB.
The VRAM of dGPU(NV GeForce MX550) is 2GB.
I didn't see the min. memory requirement should at least be documented.
Could you help to provide the document?
Thank you!

As far I can see in the data, this is not a specific Quadro k2200 issue, because there were several successful submissions with this card before.

Classroom may be older but is still a 2.8.x Blender demo file.

The source code is here, I don't know if there is documentation outside of that.
https://developer.blender.org/source/blender-open-data/

Also, where can I find documentation on how the Open Data Benchmark performs its Benchmark ? What are the settings for the files you are computing ? Why and how those settings were chosen ? How can I correlate the Open Data Benchmark results with what I can expect to see in Blender ?

@Brecht Van Lommel (brecht) What is the CPU score of Junkshop on your 16G machine ?

Ok, perhaps the junkshop scene is running out of memory and causing issues on both CPU and GPU. Swapping and running very slowly on the CPU, and just failing on the GPU.

@Brecht Van Lommel (brecht) I'm looking at the number of samples per second at the very end of the log.

@Matthieu (MHEonM1) regarding CPU rendering time, which numbers are you looking at exactly?

Thanks, there is indeed an error that doesn't seem to stop the render:

BLENDER: CommandBuffer Failed: cycles_metal_integrator_reset

@Michael Jones (michael_jones) I guess there are two issues to fix here. One is to stop the render on this error, and the other would be to figure out why the error happens in the first place. Would you have time to look into this?

Here we go.

Likely there is an error while rendering, which causes the render to stop quickly, but this goes undetected and the render time is considered correct.

I am still having nonsensical numbers (13inch MBP M1 8 GPU cores, 8Go RAM), both on CPU and GPU

Since April 10th I see no new unrealistic scores. I don't know if that is a coincidence.

This turned out to be a driver issue that has been fixed in 512.15+.

Can confirm with various commands, including:

That is usefull info for the Metal/Blender developers I think if they are going to look into this bug.

Concerning the CPU score of Junkshop:

No problem :)

Sorry for the late response. Here are some screenshots of what I get in OpenData :

I cannot see the low overal scores for Apple M1 CPU scores for junkshop (see screenshot), but I notice quite a large difference between the lowest and highest scores. Is your score specific for your benchmark?

Just to add a precision

The unrealistic values are still being submitted. Because the very high values the overall scores of Apple benchmarks are not really usable:

Good to know the problem is gone!
Thank you for the report.
If the problem reappears, feel free to submit a new report.

I can confirm that I can submit results.

This is because the same issue as I submitted yesterday in issue:[[ URL | https://developer.blender.org/T96519 ]]. Some values with the device_type="Metal" and scene="Junkshop" have unrealistic values.

Let's leave the Cycles project out of this. I also suspect the error is no longer relevant given all the changes that went through with Cycles and Open Data.

Hi, Sergey already worked on the client side of the benchmark client and we are now planning work on the server side. The goal is to have this done before the. 3.1 release.

Are there any news or is there help needed for this?

Nvidia RTX A5000 here. Windows 10. Won't produce a window when launched. Changed compatibility mode to Windows 8 to get it running.

I confirm there are plans to tackle this by updating the launcher, as well as the benchmark suite.
