Pod crashing due to low regular RAM?

Hey, I am running ComfyUI and my pod keeps crashing at one point in the workflow, the VRam is only at 70% utilised, but the GPU says 100%

Does this mean if I found a different pod with more regular Ram, then I could keep going with the workflow?

I don't get what are you implying eith those two values

Jason

And I think gpu vram, gpu usg for different use than ram

So I have a friends 4090 in real life that I am using to render artwork from a workflow in comfyui. i Need to work faster so I rented a 4090 on Runpod, but it doesnt work. it crashes... and I am trying to figure out why

Jas

JasOP•7/15/24, 3:28 AM

the screenshot I shared is a plug in that visualises how the ram is being used, and it seems like the VRAM is not the issue

Jas

J

JasOP•7/15/24, 3:29 AM

So I want to know how to fix it, if i had a different pod with more than 30gb RAM maybe would be ok

Jas

It is just annoying to waste money testing out these pods, thought someone here might know

Jason

J

Jason•7/15/24, 3:31 AM

Oh crashing ?

Jason

J

Jason•7/15/24, 3:31 AM

Can you check the comfyui logs

Jason

J

Jason•7/15/24, 3:31 AM

Maybe something happened

Jason

JJason Can you check the comfyui logs

Jas

J

JasOP•7/15/24, 3:31 AM

thats the thing, it doesnt say why in the logs

Jason

J

Jason•7/15/24, 3:31 AM

Pod restarts automatically or what , ram 42 looks pretty normal and shouldn't be crashing itself

Jason

J

Jason•7/15/24, 3:32 AM

I mean I never happen to crash comfyui

Jason

J

Jason•7/15/24, 3:32 AM

What does it looks like when it's crashed

Jason

J

Jason•7/15/24, 3:32 AM

Like pod restarts?

Jas

J

JasOP•7/15/24, 3:32 AM

i shared the screenshot..

Jas

J

JasOP•7/15/24, 3:32 AM

it says "reconnecting" and ERR

Jas

J

JasOP•7/15/24, 3:32 AM

but it required a pod restart to get it working again

Jas

J

JasOP•7/15/24, 3:34 AM

log didnt say anything, the other stuff was just error because I put wrong format image fir ipadapter

Jas

J

JasOP•7/15/24, 3:35 AM

I got it working with using less controlnets, but whenever I use 3 it crashes

Jason

J

Jason•7/15/24, 3:36 AM

Hmm maybe it's the vram

Jason

J

Jason•7/15/24, 3:36 AM

Try to launch it from your commandline

Jason

J

Jason•7/15/24, 3:36 AM

Launch your own comfyui

Jas

J

JasOP•7/15/24, 3:36 AM

Either: wrong model, model compability, or bad pod

Jason

J

Jason•7/15/24, 3:38 AM

But the crashing I don't have any idea

Jas

J

JasOP•7/15/24, 3:40 AM

ugh hmm, how can I launch it from commandline?

Jas

J

JasOP•7/15/24, 3:40 AM

I got it to render a couple of times so I dont think its actually a bad pod

Jas

J

JasOP•7/15/24, 3:41 AM

but it just keeps crashing, I am 90% sure its a RAM issue

Jas

J

JasOP•7/15/24, 3:41 AM

regular ram, not VRAM

Jas

J

JasOP•7/15/24, 3:41 AM

But idk really... the workflow is exactly the same as what I am running on a local machine

Jas

J

JasOP•7/15/24, 3:44 AM

It works now, with 1 Ipadapter, 2 controlnet, but I need 2 Ipadapter, 3 controlnets. that is the issue. I guess it can't handle it

Jas

JJas ugh hmm, how can I launch it from commandline?

Jason

J

Jason•7/15/24, 4:07 AM

Nvm I think it's the same

Jason

J

Jason•7/15/24, 4:08 AM

Hmm yeah try 2x gpu or pod with more ram then?

Jas

JJas But idk really... the workflow is exactly the same as what I am running on a loc...

Jason

J

Jason•7/15/24, 4:08 AM

What about your local it has more ram?

Jason

JJason What about your local it has more ram?

Jas

J

JasOP•7/15/24, 4:08 AM

I actually don't know, need to ask my friend, I am accessing it remotely

Jas

J

JasOP•7/15/24, 4:08 AM

i would guess 64GB

Jas

J

JasOP•7/15/24, 4:09 AM

if its working

Jas

J

JasOP•7/15/24, 4:09 AM
