Summary

Training crashes with CUDA error: illegal memory access during _C.rasterize_gaussians (often reported asynchronously at (radii > 0).nonzero() in Python). Root cause: compact-box tile culling uses log(con_o.w * 255.0f) without guarding con_o.w <= 1/255, while the rasterizer already skips splats with effective alpha below 1/255.

Environment

  • OS: Windows 11
  • GPU: NVIDIA RTX 5090 (sm_120)
  • PyTorch: 2.11 + CUDA 12.8
  • Dataset: COLMAP, ~100 views, images rescaled to ~1600×900
  • Command: python train.py -s data -m data

Reproduction

  1. Train until ~4k–7k iterations (densify continues; opacities drift down).
  2. Crash stack (representative):
    • gaussian_renderer → diff_gaussian_rasterization_fastgs._C.rasterize_gaussians
    • Sometimes mis-attributed to visibility_filter : (radii > 0).nonzero().
  3. With CUDA_LAUNCH_BLOCKING=1 and pipe.debug=True (--debug_from N):
    • Error localizes to cuda_rasterizer/rasterizer_impl.cu around CHECK_CUDA(FORWARD::render(...)).
  4. Saved forward args (snapshot_fw.dump via debug path) showed at crash:
    • P ≈ 81461 Gaussians
    • opacity min ≈ 0.001086 (< 1/255 ≈ 0.0039215686)
    • Image ~1600×899

Root cause (proposed)

In cuda_rasterizer/auxiliary.h, duplicateToTilesTouched:

float t = 2.0f * log(con_o.w * 255.0f);

Summary
Training crashes with CUDA error: illegal memory access during _C.rasterize_gaussians (often reported asynchronously at (radii > 0).nonzero() in Python). Root cause: compact-box tile culling uses log(con_o.w * 255.0f) without guarding con_o.w <= 1/255, while the rasterizer already skips splats with effective alpha below 1/255.
Environment
  • OS: Windows 11
  • GPU: NVIDIA RTX 5090 (sm_120)
  • PyTorch: 2.11 + CUDA 12.8
  • Dataset: COLMAP, ~100 views, images rescaled to ~1600×900
  • Command: python train.py -s data -m data
Reproduction
  1. Train until ~4k–7k iterations (densify continues; opacities drift down).
  2. Crash stack (representative):

    • gaussian_renderer → diff_gaussian_rasterization_fastgs._C.rasterize_gaussians
    • Sometimes mis-attributed to visibility_filter : (radii > 0).nonzero().
  3. With CUDA_LAUNCH_BLOCKING=1 and pipe.debug=True (--debug_from N):

    • Error localizes to cuda_rasterizer/rasterizer_impl.cu around CHECK_CUDA(FORWARD::render(...)).
  4. Saved forward args (snapshot_fw.dump via debug path) showed at crash:

    • P ≈ 81461 Gaussians
    • opacity min ≈ 0.001086 (< 1/255 ≈ 0.0039215686)
    • Image ~1600×899
Root cause (proposed)
In cuda_rasterizer/auxiliary.h, duplicateToTilesTouched:
float t = 2.0f * log(con_o.w * 255.0f);
