ML & DL acceleration
Additionally to using the GPU for graphics acceleration, arivis can also use compatible GPUs to accelerate Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) workflows. To use GPU acceleration for ML & DL tasks arivis Pro needs:
- NVIDIA GPUs
- Up to date drivers
- At least 8 GB of video memory (VRAM)
If these conditions are met and the GPU acceleration was installed as part of the installation the software should automatically use the GPU for ML and DL acceleration. We can check if this is the case within the Machine Learning panel of the Preferences window:
As we can see from the screenshot above, this system uses the GPU for Machine Learning. If the GPU is incompatible the checkbox will be disabled and cannot be checked. If so, first check whether the graphics card should be compatible (NVIDIA chipset and 8GB RAM), then check that the drivers are up to date. Please consult with the system administrator or your IT support team to update the drivers as needed.
