I'm currently using the PLA Reverse GUI on MacOS 12.7.5 to try to figure out the group seed for one of the Basculin multi-spawners in the Cobalt Coastlands. After I click "compute group seed," the console window gets to this point and stalls. The terminal also prints a bunch of text that I can't really make sense of, as I'm new to all of this. The developer of the GUI suggested it's because my computer is running this using my CPU instead of my GPU, but I don't know how to change that. Any help is appreciated! Screenshots are attached.
#PLA: Reverse GUI stalls when computing group seed

would i be right to assume that "iris pro" is your gpu?
not familiar with apple pcs
I have no idea. I can try running the program again and selecting that instead, I've just been setting it to Intel which seems to be my CPU
google seems to imply it has something to do with graphics so id think its the gpu
pla-reverse is specifically built to be run on the gpu since doing it on the cpu is magnitudes slower
gotcha! I'll give it a shot and let you know if that fixes it. thank you for the quick replies you're a saint
that did the trick, program is running smoothly. Thank you so much again
np
new problem, i managed to get through the fixed seed steps fine but when it tries to start the generator seed search it immediately fails. this is the output from the terminal
presumably an issue with apple's opencl implementation
there was a similar issue with old amd gpus a while back where it wasnt accepting the way numbers were formatted in the code
"compile server error" says like nothing about what its taking issue with though so thats weird
you can try running the program with CL_LOG_ERRORS=stdout python main.py and see if it says anything useful
okay i'll try that
side note though that seems like a lot of fixed seeds and you should be evolving the pokemon and getting its evolved size if you can
and for testing you can use the data shown in the usage guide since it has a low number the search should take less time overall
gotcha. I tried to add more measurements but for some reason the window gets too big for me to click "compute" and i cannot resize it at all lol
probably too compact for QT to be comfortable shrinking the window
can probably adjust your screen resolution or display percentage somewhere just to get it all on screen
i'll give that a shot then too
