Description

Story behind can be tracked from:

• https://github.com/autowarefoundation/autoware.universe/issues/7668#issuecomment-2194415792

Basically the tests disabled here:

• ✅ work on machines with Nvidia GPU
• ❌ fail on machines without Nvidia GPU

When we upgrade our testing infrastructure to have CUDA capable GPUs, we can re-enable these tests.

Sister issue:

• https://github.com/autowarefoundation/autoware.universe/issues/7733

Purpose

To make CI pass on no-gpu machines. (Especially github hosted runners)

Possible approaches

• Commenting out the failing tests in the respective CMakeLists.txt file.
• Adding a reference to here

Definition of done

• [x] build-and-test passes on the main branch.

@mitsudome-r if somehow we gain access to gpu capable machines either by:

• adding more self hosted local machines
• or utilizing https://github.com/philips-labs/terraform-aws-github-runner

We can use this PR as reference:

• https://github.com/autowarefoundation/autoware.universe/pull/7721

I will also create a documentation on how I set up the self hosted runners with custom init scripts.

@xmfcx Is there any updates on this issue? We would like to have the cuda tests enabled (https://github.com/autowarefoundation/autoware.universe/blob/main/perception/autoware_lidar_centerpoint/CMakeLists.txt)

@knzo25 please have a peek at:

• https://github.com/autowarefoundation/autoware.universe/pull/8498

Through this new system, we have access to gpu1.small machines with 15 GB, 4vCPU and an unknown GPU, I didn't make any tests.

Full list: https://aws.amazon.com/codebuild/pricing/ (select us east n. virginia)

But this machine is pricier.

We only need GPU for tests, not for building with CUDA.

So one option would be to separate build and test in the workflow and test on this new machine.

But it requires someone to work on this task.
