thomasp Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 I noticed that the console on Mac is reporting a lot of these errors (marked red) for me when running Affinity Photo in the foreground: void IOAccelFenceMachine::fence_timeout(IOTimerEventSource *): AMDRadeonAccelerator prodding blockFenceInterrupt Only AP seems to trigger them - Designer for example doesn't. Other graphics intensive software using Metal acceleration also seems unaffected. I've seen this error attributed to GPU freezes, hence the curiosity. What's the meaning of it? Happening on D500 GPU's on a 2013 Mac Pro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Lee D Posted November 11, 2019 Staff Share Posted November 11, 2019 @thomasp I can only find a few references to that error, some refer to High Sierra. Which version of macOS are you running and have you tried running your mac in Safe Mode (hold SHIFT while booting)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just curious at this point if this error is indicative of anything serious happening behind the scenes? So far I've not experienced any crashes related to AP.
