From bc92761a83f22a34c6ce80703f4fd7dcab5b8999 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masonmason Date: Thu, 24 Jul 2025 10:39:20 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] fix: Optimize multi-dongle inference for proper parallel processing MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit - Enable USB timeout (5000ms) for stable communication - Fix send thread timeout from 0.01s to 1.0s for better blocking - Update WebcamInferenceRunner to use async pattern (non-blocking) - Add non-blocking put_input option to prevent frame drops - Improve thread stopping mechanism with better cleanup These changes follow Kneron official example pattern and should enable proper parallel processing across multiple dongles. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude --- cluster4npu_ui/core/functions/Multidongle.py | 60 +++++++++++--------- 1 file changed, 34 insertions(+), 26 deletions(-) diff --git a/cluster4npu_ui/core/functions/Multidongle.py b/cluster4npu_ui/core/functions/Multidongle.py index 4662fa5..5c0d6a0 100644 --- a/cluster4npu_ui/core/functions/Multidongle.py +++ b/cluster4npu_ui/core/functions/Multidongle.py @@ -289,9 +289,9 @@ class MultiDongle: sys.exit(1) # setting timeout of the usb communication with the device - # print('[Set Device Timeout]') - # kp.core.set_timeout(device_group=self.device_group, milliseconds=5000) - # print(' - Success') + print('[Set Device Timeout]') + kp.core.set_timeout(device_group=self.device_group, milliseconds=5000) + print(' - Success') # if self.upload_fw: try: @@ -417,19 +417,19 @@ class MultiDongle: try: # Get image and format from the input queue - # Blocks until an item is available or stop event is set/timeout occurs + # Block until an item is available try: - # Use get with timeout or check stop event in a loop - # This pattern allows thread to check stop event while waiting on queue - item = self._input_queue.get(block=True, timeout=0.1) - # Check if this is our sentinel value + item = self._input_queue.get(block=True, timeout=1.0) + # Check if this is our sentinel value to stop if item is None: - continue + break # Now safely unpack the tuple image_data, image_format_enum = item except queue.Empty: - # If queue is empty after timeout, check stop event and continue loop + # Check stop event and continue if timeout + if self._stop_event.is_set(): + break continue # Configure and send the image @@ -501,24 +501,26 @@ class MultiDongle: print("Stopping threads...") self._stop_event.set() - # Clear queues to unblock threads - while not self._input_queue.empty(): - try: - self._input_queue.get_nowait() - except queue.Empty: - break - - # Signal send thread to wake up - self._input_queue.put(None) + # Signal send thread to stop by putting sentinel value + try: + self._input_queue.put(None, timeout=1.0) + except queue.Full: + # Clear queue if it's full and try again + while not self._input_queue.empty(): + try: + self._input_queue.get_nowait() + except queue.Empty: + break + self._input_queue.put(None) # Join threads with timeout for thread, name in [(self._send_thread, "Send"), (self._receive_thread, "Receive")]: if thread and thread.is_alive(): - thread.join(timeout=2.0) + thread.join(timeout=3.0) if thread.is_alive(): print(f"Warning: {name} thread didn't stop cleanly") - def put_input(self, image: Union[str, np.ndarray], format: str, target_size: Tuple[int, int] = None): + def put_input(self, image: Union[str, np.ndarray], format: str, target_size: Tuple[int, int] = None, block: bool = True, timeout: float = None): """ Put an image into the input queue with flexible preprocessing """ @@ -539,7 +541,13 @@ class MultiDongle: else: raise ValueError(f"Unsupported format: {format}") - self._input_queue.put((image_data, image_format_enum)) + try: + self._input_queue.put((image_data, image_format_enum), block=block, timeout=timeout) + except queue.Full: + if not block: + print("Warning: Input queue is full, dropping frame") + else: + raise def get_output(self, timeout: float = None): """ @@ -687,12 +695,12 @@ class WebcamInferenceRunner: self.display_fps_start_time = time.time() self.display_frame_counter += 1 - # Preprocess and send frame + # Preprocess and send frame (non-blocking) processed_frame = self.multidongle.preprocess_frame(frame, self.image_format) - self.multidongle.put_input(processed_frame, self.image_format) + self.multidongle.put_input(processed_frame, self.image_format, block=False) - # Get inference result - prob, result = self.multidongle.get_latest_inference_result() + # Try to get inference result (non-blocking) + prob, result = self.multidongle.get_latest_inference_result(timeout=0.001) if prob is not None: # Track inference FPS if self.inference_fps_start_time is None:
