   Hey,
   thanks for the great tool.

   i simulate 3D a bowl shaped focused transducer which consists out of 8 ring elements.
   i got a problem for phase shift/focus shift simulation.

   I use Matlab 2019a
   Kwave Cuda 1.3
   gtx 3090

   I create 8 different signals for the 8 elements with time delayed signals.
   i is the number of the element: source.p(i, :) = filterTimeSeries(kgrid, medium, sig);

   If i use kspaceFirstOrder3D Simulation, it works perfect but needs 25 minutes with gpuarray-single for one simulation.

   If i use 3DG for cuda i got this error: Dataset p_source_input has wrong dimension size. iostream error Matlab also Puts out errors: h5readc (not found or unsupported characters)

   If i dont use phase shift, and only give 1 signal to the source for all elements. 3DG works perfect and fast and calculates everything in 90 seconds.

   so 90seconds vs 25 min is a huge difference for me.

   Maybe someone knows how to fix this porblem or did i miss, that this is not possible.

   Hi carljiri,

   Does source.p have the same number of signals as the sum(source.p_mask(:))?

   Hey :)

   all elemements are present in the 3D array. where the element exists index == number of the element. so inner circle ==1 to most outer circle == 8.

   so i got everything from 1 to 8 in its....(p_mask)

   and in the source_p i got 8 rows of shifted signals.

   Just to clarify, does p_mask contain numbers 1 to 8, or just the numbers 1 and 0?

   Hey,
   it contains 0 for no mask
   and 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8

   it gets really strange now.

   on the nvidia 2080 i can calculate it using cuda binaries. on the 3090, it crashes, but every other calculation where i got only 1 signal for all elements i can run on the 3090.

   i will try do delete the kwave toolbox and install them again on the 3090 server on monday. maybe it fixes the problem.

   Hi carljiri,

   Ok, that makes sense now. The use of a labelled source mask is an experimental feature and not fully supported (I thought it wasn't supported at all in the C++/CUDA versions, but I'd need to go back and check). In a future version this will be more widely supported, but in a different format that also allows scaling.

   Brad.
