Context Capture - Slow process time and production of one tile failed

I am running a Production that has 127 tiles and one of the tiles has failed.The aerotraingulation completed on 3524 photos with 70.8 gigapixels. The machine I am running the production on is a Azure VM withWindows Server 2016, Intel Xeon 24 cores, 224 GB RAM, 4 Nvidia M60 graphics with 8 GB/card. I have optimized the VM to use the M60card as the main GPU as well as turned up the 3D settings on the card for maximum performance. I have attached the log file of the failed tile.

I started the production 2 days ago and it is on tile 21 of 127.127Tiles-20GBRAM - Tile_+005_+009.log

  • Unfortunately I can't offer suggestions on your question, but wondered if i could pose a question to you re: getting context capture running in Azure VMs. I'm stuck where ContextCapture doesn't detect the video card properly, just claims the GPU isn't supported (no vertex buffers, etc available). Wondering what you did to get things running properly. I installed the proper NVIDIA drivers and disabled the Microsoft display adapter so the Tesla K80 is the only one displaying in Device Manager now. I started out initially on the M60 setup but when that wasnt working had swapped over to the K80 to see if there was any difference.
  • James, unfortunately I do not have good news for you. We started with the Tesla K80 configuration and could never get that to work properly with CC. We started up a new machine using the M60 configuration and continued with that because it worked. One thing that you have to make sure is to disable the Microsoft dispaly adapter as well as the Monitor that is using the Microsoft Display Adapter. If you do not disable the Monitor CC will never recognize the Nvidia card.
