Post subject:	Using the Optimus GPU on a laptop for Leela Zero
I have been troubled by this for quite a while and could not find a solution. My new laptop comes with a NVidia card. It is the so-called Optimus setting: the integrated GPU with the Intel processor handles day to day jobs, and the NVidia card can be used to do more intensive jobs. I have installed Fedora 28 Linux on this machine. I then installed Bumblebee, which supplies the driver for the NVidia card, and a means to switch to the NVidia card to run applications. This appears to work well. But I have no idea how to use the GPU on this machine to run Leela Zero. Has anyone tried this before? I was troubled by the poor performance of using the Intel CPU to run LZ. I knew it would be poor. But I was quite shocked when I tried LZ with a 10-year-old NVidia card on a very old desktop PC - the old machine was about 4 times faster.

Sorry I don't exactly have an answer to your question, but just one idea to look for: make sure you have installed the OpenCL driver for Nvidia, since I think LeelaZero can only make use of your Nvidia GPU via OpenCL. The other kind of GPU driver that Nvdia may use is CUDA, but LeelaZero doesn't use that (yet: https://github.com/gcp/leela-zero/issues/211).

You should check what LeelaZero is saying when you run it a terminal (./leelaz -w weights.txt). Here is what I get, it's clear what GPU is used (it's also clear I have only one to use): Code: Initializing OpenCL. Detected 1 OpenCL platforms. Platform version: OpenCL 1.2 CUDA 9.1.84 Platform profile: FULL_PROFILE Platform name: NVIDIA CUDA Platform vendor: NVIDIA Corporation Device ID: 0 Device name: GeForce GT 720M Device type: GPU Device vendor: NVIDIA Corporation Device driver: 390.25 Device speed: 1550 MHz Device cores: 2 CU Device score: 1112 Selected platform: NVIDIA CUDA Selected device: GeForce GT 720M with OpenCL 1.2 capability. Then, if it's not the expected GPU, try this, to tell LZ to use others GPU, until you get the expected GPU: Code: ./leelaz -w weights.txt --gpu 0 ./leelaz -w weights.txt --gpu 1 ./leelaz -w weights.txt --gpu 2 sorin wrote: Sorry I don't exactly have an answer to your question, but just one idea to look for: make sure you have installed the OpenCL driver for Nvidia, since I think LeelaZero can only make use of your Nvidia GPU via OpenCL. I agree with this one. On my Ubuntu, I have to also install the latest nvidia driver (nvidia-390), even though my nvidia card only really requires and uses an older version (nvidia-340). Installing the latest driver must somehow install some tool/framework/idontknowwhat that helps unlocking the latest OpenCL.

So I must have a problem with the OpenCL driver. This is LZ's output: Code: Detecting residual layers...v1...192 channels...15 blocks. Initializing OpenCL. Detected 2 OpenCL platforms.

The output contains this error message: Code: Error getting device(s): clGetDeviceIDs: -1 Any idea what caused this?

Most probably an issue with your Nvidia driver. As a first step, check what version of the driver is currently running. This could be that you are running the opensource driver ("nouveau"). On ubuntu (but I guess it will work on fedora as well), you can type: Code: lspci -vnn \| grep -A 12 '\''[030[02]\]' \| grep -Ei "vga\|3d\|display\|kernel" On my computer with a proprietary Nvidia driver, I get: Code: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller [8086:0166] (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Kernel driver in use: i915 Kernel modules: i915 01:00.0 3D controller [0302]: NVIDIA Corporation GF117M [GeForce 610M/710M/810M/820M / GT 620M/625M/630M/720M] [10de:1140] (rev a1) Kernel driver in use: nvidia Kernel modules: nvidiafb, nouveau, nvidia_390, nvidia_390_drm One can see that both nouveau and nvidia_390 are installed, but nvidia is in use. One a computer using nouveau, the result would be like this: Code: 00:0d.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation C61 [GeForce 6150SE nForce 430] [10de:03d0] (rev a2) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Kernel driver in use: nouveau Kernel modules: nouveau, nvidiafb

Post subject:	Re: Using the Optimus GPU on a laptop for Leela Zero
Thank you for your advice. I can see a problem in my case. This is my output if running the same command line: Code: lspci -vnn \| grep -A 12 '\''[030[02]\]' \| grep -Ei "vga\|3d\|display\|kernel" 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation UHD Graphics 620 [8086:5917] (rev 07) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Kernel driver in use: i915 Kernel modules: i915 02:00.0 3D controller [0302]: NVIDIA Corporation GP108M [GeForce MX150] [10de:1d10] (rev ff) (prog-if ff) Kernel modules: nouveau, nvidia_drm, nvidia Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi Kernel modules: iwlwifi Also I found the following from the unfiltered output: Code: 02:00.0 3D controller [0302]: NVIDIA Corporation GP108M [GeForce MX150] [10de:1d10] (rev ff) (prog-if ff) !!! Unknown header type 7f Kernel modules: nouveau, nvidia_drm, nvidia Any suggestions? Thanks again!

Well, I now believe your computer is using the nouveau driver, and that you should try to install the latest nvidia proprietary driver, then remove the nouveau driver. It's better if you refer to the Fedora documentation for that as I have no experience with Fedora. With Ubuntu, it's a pretty straightforward process, I guess it should be easy for Fedora as well.
