Running iterative alg stuck in Ubuntu system

[stefenmax]

Hi, I run your code smoothly on Windows, when I transfer to linux, after compile, it could run the forward and backprojection on my data. But every time When I run OSART-TV like below, it will stuck with no response. In windows it give me response within few seconds. algs.ossart_tv(proj, self.geo, angles, niter=1, init = init) Thanks for your help

Specifications

• python version:3.10
• OS:Linux
• CUDA version:12.2 conda list

There are a couple of rare issues that may be causing this, but its been hard to debug because I can't reproduce it.

One thing to try: in the following function, a new geoemtry is created from the input one.

https://github.com/CERN/TIGRE/blob/2b18d9bb489d2fb46ac87f58fbfcfd9981bb2ec6/Python/tigre/algorithms/iterative_recon_alg.py#L217

Can you try changing the code locally so it doesn't do this modification of the geoemtry? Just the copy.

[stefenmax]

Do you mean comment this line right? I tried and failed. But I tried some Krylov subspace algorithms like CGLS and LSQR it worked, That is weired. But the OSART-TV's performence is the best...

[AnderBiguri]

@stefenmax not just that line, but the few after. Apologies I am in a trip so can't help much, but the idea is to pass an un modified geo to Atb

[stefenmax]

Thanks for you help. But it still didn't works. Maybe I should run it using windows. And I found that the speed is faster than linux lol

[AnderBiguri]

hum... I don't really know then why. As I can not reproduce I would need to know which function hangs, is there any way you can try to figure that out? I have extensively used TIGRE in Linux, so its certainly a specific case of geometry, CUDA, number of GPUS, OS, python version or something like that that causes this strange error, but its hard for me to figure out simply because I don't see it.

I'll keep the issue open, if you do happen to pinpoint what exactly hangs (has to be some Ax() or Atb() call somewhere) do let me know. I do suspect its set_w or set_v that hang...

[stefenmax]

I found that I can run the ossart algogrithm in the example.py in my linux system. So I tried replace my geometry using the head phantom and found it hangg in the tigre.Ax. That is weired cause previously I could do the Ax and FDK for my own data. Here is the example code, I don't know if you can reproduce this.

from __future__ import division
from __future__ import print_function

import numpy as np
import tigre
import tigre.algorithms as algs

os.environ["CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES"] = "2"
### This is just a basic example of very few TIGRE functionallity.
# We hihgly recomend checking the Demos folder, where most if not all features of tigre are demoed.

listGpuNames = gpu.getGpuNames()
if len(listGpuNames) == 0:
    print("Error: No gpu found")
else:
    for id in range(len(listGpuNames)):
        print("{}: {}".format(id, listGpuNames[id]))

gpuids = gpu.getGpuIds(listGpuNames[0])
print(gpuids)

angles = np.linspace(0, np.pi/2, 180, dtype=np.float32)
# Prepare projection data

proj = tigre.Ax(head, geo, angles, gpuids=gpuids)
test = tigre.Atb(proj,geo,angles,backprojection_type="matched",gpuids=gpuids)
# Reconstruct
niter = 20
fdkout = algs.fdk(proj, geo, angles, gpuids=gpuids)

ossart = algs.ossart(proj, geo, angles, niter, blocksize=20, gpuids=gpuids)

# Measure Quality

print("RMSE fdk:")
print(Measure_Quality(fdkout, head, ["nRMSE"]))

So it hangs in the Ax in this code? What if you make a different amount of GPUs visible? Are they all the same GPU?

[stefenmax]

yeah, it hangs in the Ax. No it was not the same GPU. But in my another server, there are two same GPU. And it hangs in the same position.

[AnderBiguri]

Certainly with different GPUs behaviour is undefined, so that would be an issue.

I'll try your specific geometry. But out of curiosity, if you change the nvoxel/ndetector a bit, does it still hang?

[stefenmax]

Do you have any recommendation on how to change the nvoxel/ndetector?

[AnderBiguri]

Just give it a different value, just to see if its the specific values causing the issue.

[stefenmax]

Yes,after change it a bit. Still hang

[AnderBiguri]

Apologies, I don't seem to be able to reproduce this in any way. If you can pinpoint where the error is, do let me know.
