This tool enables users to efficiently allocate diffusion models across multiple GPUs in ComfyUI, optimizing resource usage for improved performance. It allows users with dual graphics cards to load models onto a secondary GPU, thereby maximizing processing capabilities.
- Facilitates the assignment of diffusion models to different GPUs, enhancing computational efficiency.
- Provides a dedicated node in ComfyUI for easy access and configuration of GPU settings.
- Supports the use of multiple GPUs simultaneously, allowing for higher frame rates and faster rendering.
Context
This tool is a specialized node designed for ComfyUI that allows users with multiple graphics cards to load diffusion models onto a designated secondary GPU. Its primary purpose is to improve the performance of AI art generation by distributing the workload effectively across available hardware.
Key Features & Benefits
The main feature of this tool is the capability to load diffusion models onto a secondary GPU, which can significantly increase processing speed and efficiency. By utilizing a dedicated node called "Force/Set Loaded Diffusion Model Device," users can easily manage which GPU is handling specific tasks, leading to enhanced performance and resource utilization.
Advanced Functionalities
This tool allows for the specific configuration of GPU usage, meaning users can start their ComfyUI session on one GPU and then allocate a model to another GPU that is otherwise idle. This flexibility is particularly beneficial for users who want to maximize their hardware capabilities without manual intervention.
Practical Benefits
By enabling the distribution of tasks across multiple GPUs, this tool streamlines workflows in ComfyUI, allowing for greater control over rendering processes. Users can achieve higher frame rates and improved quality in their outputs, making it a valuable addition for those working with demanding AI art applications.
