Describe the problem you are having

hello - i have had my system running well for a while. I am running it now on proxmox vm on a very powerful server but i am wanting to use my tpu still (I do have a 5090 i can use tho)

I have the tpu passed through fine and frigate starts fine but the tpu cpu usage is 99% constantly. I have an amd threadripper cpu (4 cores assigned so far)

I am not using the 5090 as I plan to use it to run some large llms. but I guess i could move over to it .

appreciate any help thank you

To be clear this is CPU usage not TPU usage, the inference speed is slow which suggests there may be some inefficiencies leading to slowdown. Is this connected via USB3? Can you try a different full speed USB cable?

any advice on what i'm doing wrong would be greatly appreciated. Note plex is on the same vm and can accsess the gpu fine

I'm keen to still use my TPU for main detections to reduce load on gpu for other tasks if possible

thank you

i did this also which allowed the model to download it seems but still the cpu usage is just as high ? !

sudo mkdir -p /opt/frigate_config/model_cache
sudo chmod -R 777 /opt/frigate_config

hovering over red bars says "Coral"

what am I doing wrong here? I just dont get it. Is this just proxmox pain?

althought i can access the web UI its very slow to load etc. (prob cuase cpu is high)

but on proxmos summary for that vm it says i'm only using 45% of cpu

ok i added

record:
enabled: True
retain:
days: 7
mode: motion
alerts:
retain:
days: 30
detections:
retain:
days: 30

  to the config as i had errors for recording 
  
  and now it seems to be stable using 1% detector

will monitor - thank you very much!

not sure what fixed it but ill take it

hmm no luck its still saying Detection appears to be stuck. Restarting detection process...

i've tried both high and low res models.

joelegg Jun 18, 2025

Changing it between the different model resolutions seems to fix it. But it doesn't seem to stick. If I restart frigate it goes back and has high CPU usage.

Although the high usage seems to be at the very start, sometimes it gets out of the stuck state and other times it doesn't. I switched it back over to 640x640 as the GPU should be able to handle seven streams of that. And I will monitor it.

But I'm curious there must be some sort of setting. I've got wrong to cause that error to appear right?

should i not be using this detector?
detectors:
tensorrt_0:
type: tensorrt

 for a nvidia 5090?

joelegg Jun 18, 2025
Author

it seems to be stable if you leave it. i'm not sure what cuased detection crashed who knows

I updated the detector to this

detectors:
main_detector: # You can name this whatever you want
type: onnx

i orignally had two onnx from the config docs.
