1. Do you have any more startup logs?
2. Can you give me your card specs?
3. What is the version of cuda runtime you are using?
4. In the yaml file there are some cuda settings.  The below parameter -

    # The max chunk size that can be sent to the gpu in a single go.
    gpu-transfer-size: 50mb

Can you reduce the size to a smaller value(10mb) and see if that
solves the issue?
