Description

Description

I have two GPUs:

  • GPU 0: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (UUID: GPU-aafef73b-feb4-ec58-f3f9-326cb9c7b353)
  • GPU 1: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti (UUID: GPU-c0370922-f0e4-5f2b-5f7a-16ae5ab03013)

I have used trtexec to build the corresponding engines yolo11n-3060.engine and yolo11n-2080.engine on different devices. The build commands are as follows:

trtexec --onnx=yolo11n.onnx --saveEngine=yolo11n-3060.engine --device=0
trtexec --onnx=yolo11n.onnx --saveEngine=yolo11n-2080.engine --device=1

When I deserialize and create the execution context for either yolo11n-3060.engine or yolo11n-2080.engine individually, everything works fine. However, when I attempt to deserialize and create the execution context for both engines simultaneously (e.g., first deserialize and create the context for yolo11n-3060.engine, and then do the same for yolo11n-2080.engine), the following error occurs:

ERROR: ICudaEngine::createExecutionContext: Error Code 1: Myelin ([::0] Compiled assuming that device 0 was SM 75, but device 0 is SM 86.)
Error: Failed to create execution context.

If I call cudaDeviceReset() before deserializing and creating the context for yolo11n-2080.engine, it does create the context successfully, but this affects the previously allocated memory and TensorRT objects.

Is it necessary for the SM versions to be consistent across GPUs in order to create execution contexts simultaneously for TensorRT engines in a multi-GPU environment?

Research direction

Start with the two trtexec build commands and the ICudaEngine::createExecutionContext failure, then reproduce the sequential multi-GPU deserialization on the RTX 3060 and RTX 2080 Ti. Check TensorRT's multi-GPU context behavior for differing SM versions; done means establishing whether simultaneous contexts are supported and documenting the required configuration or limitation.
