Building with high parallelism and CUDA support results in sporadic build failures

[amarshall]

Building with 48 threads, of 50 sequential builds, 19 failed (38% failure rate). Am building via nixpkgs drv, but I don’t see any reason why it’s specific to that build environment. Building without CUDA saw no failures in 50 runs.

My guess is there’s an implicit dependency somewhere, I spent a brief bit trying to find it but did not (I’m not very proficient with CMake).

I have seen at least two different failures:

[davidgyu]

Interesting. We haven't seen that before.
Can you tell us more about your system configuration: OS, Compiler, GPU, Driver version, CUDA version?

[amarshall]

Hi! Thanks for the reply.

• OS is NixOS @ NixOS/nixpkgs@9ca7856 (Linux Kernel 6.1)
• Opensubdiv src @ v3.5.0
• GCC 12.3.0 (note that -DCUDA_HOST_COMPILER is different), CMake 3.26.4
• CUDA toolkit 11.8.0
• CPU is AMD 3960X (24-core, 48-threads), 192 GB RAM
• GPU is 3080 Ti with driver 535.86.05 (however I think this should not matter, as I don’t believe the GPU is used during build)
