Love the option to output fp16 mics and particles! So far so good - I don’t see any detectable difference in the results, with significant space savings (both on main storage and SSD).
Would it be possible to add a preference to switch the default to fp16 on?
In general, it would still be great to be able to set some preferences globally, so they apply to any new project - this would help a lot for things like this that individuals might not notice but which can make a real difference at system-level…
Hi Oli. There is a project-level default switch for fp16. Does that reduce the need for a global default, or do you still feel like a global default would be significantly better?
I didn’t realize it was there, good to know! Definitely helps
I still think that having either some way to set global preferences, or a global way to set project-level defaults for all projects at once, would be good to have.
On each of our three GPUs we have about a dozen projects - going through and manually setting the same defaults for each is rather tedious, so having a way to do so globally would be helpful.
Perhaps I mucked up the order of toggle-enablement, but it seems (n=1) that enabling the project-level default for float-16 isn’t inherited by cryoSPARC Live sessions created therein. Assuming I did things in the appropriate order, is this behaviour intended?
Hi @leetleyang, the current scope of project-level parameters only affects jobs. However, we’ll make a note of your suggestion that session parameters should also be included and will consider it for a future release.
