How to use GPU-acceleration?

Open Sinity opened this issue 9 years ago • 2 comments

I'm using pre-built binaries on Windows. What should I do to make it faster? I hoped it would be faster than original implementation in LUA, but it's awfully slow.

I'm sorry but waifu2x-converter v1.1.1 for windows doesn't support GPU acceleration... (because program for using GPU acceleration is not prepared, and I don't have skill to implement this feature)

If you are using 64bit windows, and have nVidia GPU with CUDA core, I recommend to use waifu2x-caffe. You can download it by clicking waifu2x-caffe.zip. It use GPU acceleration(powered by CUDA), and I've heard that it process very fast. waifu2x-caffe is documented in Japanese, but CUI version of waifu2x-caffe has almost same interface with waifu2x-converter.
