Has anyone tried to launch Rayon 4.20.4 on a cloud pc?

[tartaric]

Hello,

I tried to launch Rayon on Paperspace which is a cloud pc with these settings: CPU XEON E5 2623 v4 (8 cores) GPU NVIDIA Quadro P5000. The OS is Windows 10 64 bits.

When I try to launch the ray.exe file it immediately shut down with this message: "ray.exe has stop working" while on my real pc it works. I tried to download many files (Java, Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable, etc.) but nothing changed.

Has anyone succeeded to launch Rayon on a cloud pc (liquidsky, paperspace, etc.) then?

Same symptom here with a virtual machine running Win 10 on a Mac. The crash occurs during CNTK init.
The previous versions did not crash.
Strange. Maybe it is related to the use of the new CNTK API ?
Is the cloud PC running a virtual machine ?

Never tried on cloud, but just to be sure, did you install CNTK as well? https://github.com/Microsoft/CNTK/releases

Actually all the versions are crashing on paperspace (P5000), except ray32 using 32 bits (which is the orginal one you can find here: http://www.computer-go-ray.com/dlmagicV ... indows.zip).

The cloud PC is not virtual box, it is a streaming service of a real powerful computer based somewhere in the world. LeelaGPU accelerated works perfectly fine on it. It has destroyed Zen 6 of my real PC (CPU i5 6400).

I think the service providing the cloud pc blocked a function needed to run Ray. All I can say is that Zen 6 and Leela are working on this cloud computer. Also the CNTK files are already in the folder so I don't think you have to download it, but maybe there is something to download in order to allow CNTK working indeed.

It was not necessary for me to install CNTK on the previous releases. The files are provided In the bundle.

Do CUDA and CuDNN need to be installed separately? I already had them installed before I tried Rayon for the first time, so I can't tell how that dependency works.

Have you tried the --no-gpu flag?

I dunno but one thing is sure: Rayon is way too complicated to use for the moment. We need an app.exe for users. Fortunately, Leela and Zen will release soon a new version which should match Rayon.

I almost tried all the commands as --no-gpu, --reuse-subtree, etc.

I've run Ray 4.20.4 via Sabaki and it works more or less fine. Video GTX1080
