My 8 year old system (i7-970 6C/12T) broke in several ways, so I bought a new system that would handle the required CPU power to run my VS scripts much better.
My new system is an Intel i9-7940X 14 Cores /28 Threads on a X299 Asus Deluxe mobo, with 64GB fast DDR4 RAM.
Most of my VS scripts do almost fly now compared to before on the i7-970.
There is at least 1 plugin that seems to behave bad : the SVP plugins. I don't know for sure if whether my script is 100% correct and I have no other PC left to test it.
The script below always gives me a BSOD after a couple of seconds.
Both svpflow1 and svpflow2 are in my autoloading directory, so I don't need to load the in the scrpt.
Code:
import vapoursynth as vs
core = vs.get_core(threads=4)
# core.std.LoadPlugin(r"c:\Program Files (x86)\VapourSynth\filters\svpflow-4.0.0.128\x64\svpflow1_vs64.dll")
# core.std.LoadPlugin(r"c:\Program Files (x86)\VapourSynth\filters\svpflow-4.0.0.128\x64\svpflow2_vs64.dll")
clip = core.ffms2.Source(r"d:\film\Beyond.2014.1080p.BluRay.H264.AAC-RARBG\Beyond.2014.1080p.BluRay.H264.AAC-RARBG.mp4")
clip = clip.resize.Bicubic(format=vs.YUV420P8) #convert to YV12
clip = clip.std.AssumeFPS(fpsnum=24,fpsden=1)
super_params="{pel:2,gpu:1}"
analyse_params="{}"
smoothfps_params="{rate:{num:5,den:2}}"
super = core.svp1.Super(clip,super_params)
vectors= core.svp1.Analyse(super["clip"],super["data"],clip,analyse_params)
smooth = core.svp2.SmoothFps(clip,super["clip"],super["data"],vectors["clip"],vectors["data"],smoothfps_params)
smooth = core.std.AssumeFPS(smooth,fpsnum=smooth.fps_num,fpsden=smooth.fps_den)
smooth.set_output()
Does the above script run on your pc ?
I suspect SVP detects the 28 threads and is trying to use them, but somehow can't handle it.
My specs :
Win10 Pro build 17134.112 version 1803
used plugins : svpflow-4.2.0.142
Intel i9-7940X (14/28) + 64GB Corsair
Nvidia / Asus GTX 1070 TI 8GB
No OC'ing for testing
