Any way to run this on Intel Arc?

[HyunJae5463]

Guess it doesn't support IPEX? Tried it and it gives TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable Error

[congdm]

It can run on IPEX. I haven't tested extensions but generating images is fine.

As i said, when i try to generate anything it says "TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable"

[congdm]

How about trying to reinstall it?

1. Delete the venv folder
2. Check if COMMANDLINE_ARGS=--use_ipex in webui-user.bat
3. Run webui-user.bat to reinstall
   If even reinstalling doesn't fix it then maybe it's another problem

Tried reinstalling twice. Second time on a fresh Windows User. Doesnt work.

Have the same issue on a clean install - the underlying exception is as following:

  File "C:\Forge\modules\rng.py", line 86, in create_generator
    generator = torch.Generator(device).manual_seed(int(seed))
RuntimeError: Device type XPU is not supported for torch.Generator() api.
Device type XPU is not supported for torch.Generator() api.

I have been able to work around the issue by amending the modules/rng.py script - since this Generator class seems to be used for the RNG only, I have amended the device checks to use CPU instead of GPU if Intel Arc (XPU) device is detected. Please find the unified diff below:

There is also a warning stating that Forge expects a higher version of torch:

You are running torch 2.0.0a0+gite9ebda2.
The program is tested to work with torch 2.1.2.

This is the same version I end up with when I run Forge with --reinstall-torch flag. @congdm, if it works for you without any manual changes, do you mind sharing your local version of torch? Perhaps the newer torch releases do support xpu devices; if they do not, I will create a PR for the above change.

[redrum-llik]

Apparently, yeah, xpu is supported by Torch 2.1+ but on Windows, Forge will run with 2.0.X custom build at the moment. We might want to wait until there is a newer build available and the installation script is updated, or test it out manually for a quicker turnaround.

[congdm]

@redrum-llik Hi, actually I also got that Generator error too, however Forge allowed us to change RNG type to CPU in Settings/Stable Diffusion tab (Random number generator source setting), no need to edit any source file.

@HyunJae5463 I just discovered that some sampler could cause TypeError: 'NoneType' exception. Have you tested it on various samplers or settings, maybe it could help.

[redrum-llik]

no need to edit any source file.

Ah cool, thank you for the notice!
I have run into one more issue that might be specific to Intel Arc GPUs, which is described here. IPEX is known to have a limit of 4 GBs for memory allocations (for performance reasons), and there is a piece of code that is meant to handle that, but it does not seem to be invoked in my case. Have you seen this one, and, if yes, is there any workaround you could recommend?

[redrum-llik]

A quick update on that - made a crude hack that seems to fix the allocation issue on the newer versions, you may find the diff here.

[redrum-llik]

Hello! You have --use_ipex in your args, but the correct one is --use-ipex (with hyphen). Please rerun the script with --use-ipex --reinstall-torch for the first run, and subsequent runs should be good with --use-ipex only. If that does not help for any reason, as @congdm suggested below, remove venv folder and run the script with just --use-ipex.

Delete venv folder in webui and run again, it should work, I think

[them3rcury]

So after changing it to --use-ipex and reinstalling the webui, it gave out the error TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable

Changing the sampler didnt change the outcome. Then I went on and changed the RNG source to CPU and voilà it works like a charm.

512x512 with Euler A getting 8.80it/s and 768x1024 at 4.40it/s with Euler A. Thanks all, appreciate the help.

[redrum-llik]

One more hack to collection, this time related to the issue with GFPGAN/Codeformer not running on IPEX which affects ReActor. If you use it (or if you run face restoration with your generations), consider changing the device that is used to run those models to CPU using this approach. We probably could benefit from being able to select this device via settings or CMD flags.

[them3rcury]

I know I said it fixed the issue, but I still get the error now and then randomly while generating images, only fix is to restart the webui and hope it doesnt do it again. It's more common when using SDXL or SDXL sometimes doesnt work at all. Pretty random. But when it works its making wonders.

[redrum-llik]

Can you share the full stacktrace? Perhaps you are seeing the allocation issue which I have mentioned above.

And I would believe this is the allocation error that you have mentioned. It doesnt happen when I generate but happens after a couple generations. Also if I dont have Never OOM UNet enabled, SDXL doesnt work as "stable" as with UNet and it crashes still with UNet.
This is with SDXL, ADetailer/HiresFix disabled, hypertile disabled and UNet enabled.
Edit: I have deleted my prompts from the logs for making it easier to read.

[redrum-llik]

RuntimeError: Native API failed. Native API returns: -997 - I am seeing this once I had an OOM at least once, until the process is restarted. Was this the first exception you saw, or a subsequent one?

The second sounds like the model was being offloaded from VRAM (to regular RAM, I suppose), but allocation has failed. Do you have any swap enabled on your system? I had some issues until I have set my swap to be twice as large as my RAM - even though it is situated on HDD, it seems to help.

Sounds like the same issue I have. I just get "Error" but no further console log. Just have to restart SD. This only happens when I use any Face Restoration. It doesn't happen on SD.Next tho. Only on Forge and A1111.

[martin-afh]

Hi,

I recently switched from an NVIDIA GPU to an Intel Arc B580 GPU, and now WebUI Forge is no longer working. The issue is related to the fact that Intel GPUs don't support CUDA.

I’ve tried running WebUI Forge, but it fails to initialize. I’m looking for guidance on how to configure it to use the Intel Arc B580, as I understand CUDA-specific features need to be replaced with alternatives for Intel GPUs.
I tried to update webui-user.bat as follows:
set COMMANDLINE_ARGS=--use_ipex --disable-gpu-warning --skip-torch-cuda-test
And I installed Intel oneAPI

What are the necessary steps to make WebUI Forge compatible with Intel Arc GPUs? Do I need to enable Intel-specific extensions (like Intel® Extension for PyTorch*) or modify any scripts/configuration files?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.
