Hi,
I’m trying to compile inswapper_128 for hailo8 and so far no success. Everything seems to be working but it takes forever at step:
Finding the best partition to contexts…
even when utilizing A10 gpu. Using CPU only I once gave it 17 hours and it never finished. With A10 gpu I waited 5 hours and was stuck at finding the best partition. All other stages including quantization was successful though. I even set fps=1 and nothing changed. Any idea why it is taking so long?
Hi,
I will need you to attach the hailo_sdk.core.log to understand the problem.
Did it say it found any valid partition? if so can use performance_param(optimization_level=0) in the allocation script - and it will finish after the first valid partition.
If it didnt find any partition and stuck at finding one I’ll need the core log to better understand.

These are situations I’ve experienced so far:
1- the compiler never shows any progress bar at “Finding the best partition to contexts”. It just sits there indefinitely (1+ hours) with no output. GPU memory is loaded (21GB on A10) but no progress bar appears at all.
2- Previous successful run on same A10 instance DID show a progress bar and eventually launched the compiler binary (hailo_tools/build/compiler) which ran for 4+ hours before being killed. That run used optimization level 2 with QAT enabled.
3- On cpu the bouncing progress bar ran for 17 hours with no output.
Questions: 1. Is InSwapper128 (dual-input: 128x128x3 face + 1x1x512 identity) supported on Hailo-8?
2. Is there a known working model script for this architecture?
3. The previous run that launched the compiler binary — was that actually making progress toward a valid HEF? System: DFC 3.33.1, hw-arch hailo8, A10 GPU, Ubuntu 22.04
I cannot find a place to upload log files so I paste part of them here:
