- Introduced a new memory management policy for ONNX Runtime to release temporary GPU memory after inference completion.
- Established a shared inference entry point for all ONNX models, differentiating between long-lived sessions and temporary memory arenas.
- Updated CUDA sessions to utilize a shrinkable memory arena, reclaiming GPU memory post-inference.
- Ensured consistent memory release semantics across BEN2, DA3, MoGe-2, and Upscale models while reusing existing sessions.
- Added lifecycle tests to validate temporary memory release and session reuse.
- Modified model adapters to integrate the new memory management features, ensuring backward compatibility with existing inference behavior.
- Enhanced unit tests to cover new memory release scenarios and verify correct behavior across different execution providers.
- Implemented `build_mesh_plane.py` to create a geometry node group for mesh planes with customizable parameters.
- Created `build_shadeless.py` for a shader node group that displays color without scene lighting while preserving shadows and reflections.
- Added `validate.py` to validate the integrity of the newly created node groups and their inputs.
- Introduced `validate_cutout.py` to ensure the functionality of cutout node groups and their dependencies.
- Developed `validate_mesh_plane.py` to test the mesh plane creation and its modifier settings.
- Added upscale operator to handle image upscaling by 4x using AI models.
- Introduced new jobs for upscale processing in the server, including debug and standard upscale jobs.
- Created a new ONNX model handler for upscale operations, supporting tiled inference and resource management.
- Updated tests to cover new upscale functionality, including input validation and output verification.
- Added documentation for the upscale feature, detailing usage and model options.
