HIP CPU+GPU slower than GPU only #97554

Closed
opened 2022-04-22 22:52:13 +02:00 by Roberto · 12 comments

System Information
Operating system: OpenSUSE Tumbleweed
Graphics card: Radeon 6700XT

Blender Version
Worked: blender-3.2.0-alpha+master.179100c02126-linux.x86_64-release

Short description of error
HIP is working great but the CPU won't add any performance for rendering, renter times are a bit higher when using GPU + CPU in HIP despite the fact that is being 99% utilized.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Based on the default startup or an attached .blend file (as simple as possible).

I can confirm same issue on iMac Pro with Vega 64. And memory usage doubles when GPU only

I know this used to happen with Cycles before and there were workarounds like reducing tile size. But not sure about the current state, is this a known issue for HIP currently? @BrianSavery @Sayak-Biswas

Same goes for Optix + CPU and CUDA + CPU as well.
Currently the CPU seems to rather slow the whole rendering instead of accelerating it.

There was some work done on load balancing recently from someone in our team to improve this. I'll check if the patch was submitted or not.

Maybe you mean #95687? In any case, I guess this is a known issue, so we should mark similar reports as such?

Yeah that is the one, I suppose we can mark this as a duplicate
