Testing the installation
You can execute this macro to see if CLIJ and graphics card drivers are installed correctly. In case of issues, consult the troubleshooting section or contact us via image.sc.
Windows and MacOS
On Windows and MacOS the installation should work right away in case the computer has a built-in Intel HD or AMD Ryzen GPU. In case dedicated AMD or NVidia GPUs are used, special drivers might have to be installed. Search for more information about drivers on the websites of the GPU vendors.
Windows: AMD and NVidia graphics cards
In case of processing large images and/or working with large kernels, errors may pop up when using NVidia or AMD graphics cards on Windows. The issue is related to a timeout of the operating system interrupting processing on the GPU. Add the following entries keys to the windows registry and restart the computer:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers]
"TdrDelay"=dword:0000003c
"TdrDdiDelay"=dword:0000003c

Linux
Linux users need to install drivers for OpenCL, even on Intel HD GPUs. It is recommended to install the packages beignet and ocl-icd-devel.
