Movidius Crashes when the input image is large

[wang__xianju]

Hi , 
I converted my CNN model using mo_tf.py into different input resolutions and tested both with Movidius and Movidius X. When the resolution is large, Movidius X crashed.  My model is very small model and the bin file is only around 168K Bytes. 

Input Resolutions: 

1) 256x256x3

Movidius worked fine, Movidius X worked fine.

2)900x900x3

Movidius worked fine, Movidius X worked fine.

3)1280x1024x3

Movidius worked fine, Movidius X crashed. The error message is shown below. 

Thanks.

Hi,

I am using the Movidius Graph file using NCAPI.

I am using the following code for reading the graph file:

"""NCAPI v2"""

### initialization
from mvnc import mvncapi
import mvnc.mvncapi as fx

########################  Device Initialization  #######################
device_list = fx.enumerate_devices()
device = fx.Device(device_list[0])
########################################################################

device.open()

#######################  Load  Neural Network   ########################

# Initialize a graph from file at some GRAPH_FILEPATH
GRAPH_FILEPATH = 'model/graph/graph_file_for_tm_npu'

with open(GRAPH_FILEPATH, mode='rb') as f:
    graph_buffer = f.read()

graph = fx.Graph('model/graph/graph_file_for_tm_npu')

print("able to read the graph successfully .... !")

input_descs = graph.get_option(fx.GraphOption.RO_INPUT_TENSOR_DESCRIPTORS)

print(input_descs)

# CONVENIENCE FUNCTION: 
# Allocate the graph to the device and create input/output Fifos with default options in one call
# input_fifo, output_fifo = graph.allocate_with_fifos(device, graph_buffer)
########################################################################

device.close()
device.destroy()

But I am getting the following error 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Exception                                 Traceback (most recent call last)

     25

     27 
     28 print(input_descs)

    691 
    692             # Create an appropriately sized buffer for getting the TensorDescriptor data

Exception: Status.NOT_ALLOCATED

Can you please help me knowing what is the problem using NCAPI?

Please help

Kind Regards
