[Question] Video memory consumption on GeForce GTX 1050 Ti

[aiotko]

Hi,

I'm trying to parse several rtsp streams by running separated FastMOT instances in docker containers. The video memory consumption is ~1.6Gb per instance for FulHD 1920x1080 video that allow me to run only 2 threads on GeForce GTX 1050 Ti with 4Gb video RAM.

I tried the same approach on another system with Tesla T4 and got ~1Gb per instance. The same OS, Ubuntu 20.04, with the same drivers and packages is installed on the both systems.

Could you please advice me what the reason might be and how I could reduce the memory consumption?

BTW: I also tried to handle several videos in separated python threads and got 1.4Gb on T4 vs 2.9Gb on 1050Ti for 2 videos in parallel.
