Title: LOL: HALT! Exception time! on DR render slave. Out of memory?
Post by: iLEZ on 2015-03-19, 11:56:19
I laughed when I got the "halt, exception time"-message on one of my 32 core DR slaves. It said to report here.
I'm doing a 2667*4000px render, nothing special. 8 other slaves in the render, working just fine (albeit using just HALF of the processor capacity it seems...). I have only 16gb of ram on the DR server that halts, and 8 is used by another naughty user leaving PS, chrome, bridge, outlook etc open.

Also a suggestion: Is it possible to show the computer names in the DR tab of the VFB in a future release? The IP tells me almost nothing.

Edit: Running 1.00.00, maxsdk 2015 sp2 by the way.

Can you post a screenshot of that window?

Sorry for humongous resolution.

Seems like it simply runs out of memory, which is not surprising.

yes, bad allocation probably means out of memory. If the scene is heavy and really used up all memory, then this is not a bug

I don't see how scene with 4M of unique polygons could be heavy.

It's more this:

and 8 (GB) is used by another naughty user leaving PS, chrome, bridge, outlook etc open.

The case when 16GB suddenly isn't so much like it used to be.

Nonetheless surprised it even takes 8GB for that type of scene. I have half-more (12) for something 50 mil...tons of textures, same high-resolution framebuffer.
