Not able to run heavy model on chrome - memory/fragment shaders issue

[prateekmalik22]

Hi I am getting a few issues running brainchop on chrome - whenever I try and run a sort of heavy model, it either says failed to compile fragment shaders or stops the model prematurely with a prompt memory loss [ "Context lost due to limited Memory available, please check current browser resouces in the toolbar and verified GPUs for each model"]

My system (WebGL diagnostics): OS: Windows 10 (64-bit)

Browser: Chrome 137

WebGL 2.0: ✅ Supported

Renderer: ANGLE (AMD Radeon(TM) Graphics, Direct3D11) → Using your AMD GPU ✅

Shading Language: WebGL GLSL ES 3.0 ✅

Antialiasing: Available ✅

Major Performance Caveat: No

Additionally, my browser resources:

Browser : | Chrome
Ver: 137
Windows
Texture size: 16384
GPU: NVIDIA, NVIDIA GeForce MX450 (0x00001F97
CPU cores: 12

You may not have enough memory allocated by the browser, e.g. texture size is too small. Note, the "Low Mem, Slow" lines in the drop down, are exactly the same model as the "High Mem, Fast" right above them. The result will be exactly the same. The difference is in the engineering to ensure the model can run in a limited resource environment of a browser.

If you are really trying to get everything out of your available computational power, you may want to try pip install brainchop - a command line version https://github.com/neuroneural/brainchop-cli
