Running on gpu

[gd1925]

Hi,
Thank you for the awesome work! It is very helpful!
Is it possible to run the code on GPU? I am running it on Ubuntu 18.04 and when I try to run, it does not run on gpu devices and runs on cpu. Is there any way to enforce the condition to run the example.py on gpu? I also tried to run export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0, but it still seems to be running on cpu.
Many thanks!

To my knowledge, it runs on CPU only no matter what.

Hi @Cuda-Chen, do you think trying to run the dlib library on gpu can help?

It is possible to let dlib and OpenCV function run on GPU. However, the bus to GPU will be the bottleneck. Unless you have a particular reason to run on GPU (e.g., given a 4K resolution image and find the face), running on GPU will not be an idea.
