The target machine's card is busy with someone else's job, so a single
end-to-end script stalls on work that does not actually need a GPU.
Compiling the CUDA extensions needs nvcc, not a device, and downloading 18 GB
of data needs neither. Those are the slow parts (~50 min + ~30 min), so phase A
now runs entirely without the card:
run_setup.sh bootstrap, conda, extensions, patches, data no GPU
run_train.sh voxel_max measurement, training, evaluation GPU
run_setup reports the GPU but never fails on it, and verify_env.py gained
SKIP_CUDA_CHECK so import coverage still runs when no device is visible.
TORCH_CUDA_ARCH_LIST is stated rather than probed, since the card may be
unavailable at build time.
run_train waits for the GPU instead of failing when it is busy: it polls until
enough VRAM frees up (12h default), so it can be queued ahead of time. Past the
deadline it proceeds anyway and lets the measured voxel_max adapt to whatever
is actually free.
keepalive.sh now takes the phase to supervise. Replaces run_all.sh and RUN.md
with SETUP.md and TRAIN.md. Adds selfcheck.sh, which syntax-checks every script
and flags CRLF endings - a shell script with either fails at its first line,
which for an unattended weekend run means losing the weekend.

SETUP.md sent a fresh machine straight to setup_env.sh, which calls conda and
builds inside ~/sum-parts. Neither exists on a clean box, so the first command
failed. This repo only carries our scripts; the benchmark itself is a separate
clone.
bootstrap.sh installs miniconda into $HOME (no sudo), clones
tudelft3d/SUM-Parts-Benchmarks, and reports whether the GPU has room for the
paper's voxel_max=64000 (~16.5 GB). Idempotent - an existing install or clone
is reported and left alone.

Reproduces the SUM Parts (CVPR 2025) face-labeling benchmark on a single
consumer GPU, then applies it to drone-photogrammetry road survey meshes.
Verified on RTX 3060 12GB / WSL2 Ubuntu 22.04 / CUDA 11.8 / torch 2.0.1:
- CUDA extensions build (pointnet2_batch, pointops, chamfer_dist, emd,
subsampling)
- PointNet 100 epochs reaches mIoU 17.19, matching the paper's reported 15.1
- OBJ -> PLY conversion round-trips through the model and yields per-point
predictions
Four upstream source patches, all idempotent, originals preserved:
- numpy aliases removed in 1.24 (np.long etc.) and collections ABCs moved in
python 3.10
- the blind test split ships label = -1, which crashed ConfusionMatrix
- mode=val referenced `epoch` before assignment
Documents the traps that cost the most time, including VRAM overflow silently
falling back to host RAM on WSL2 (25-100x slowdown, no OOM) and the colour
scale mismatch between r/g/b float32 and red/green/blue uint8.
