GPU compatibility

[im-pain]

Hi, there is a way to use GPU instead CPU? waifuxl is the best anime upscaler i found, but it takes too much time in cpu in comparison to what cuda can do with realesrgan, ty for this marvelous tool!

Yes we can certainly support that, but likely not on the web version. ONNXRuntime Web's support for GPU's isn't great. I can write a python script using PyTorch that will be CUDA accelerated (you will need to run this locally on your own machine of course). Would that be sufficient?

[im-pain]

yes, thats perfect!
(also if you can add some instructions of requirements or examples of usage it would be great, thx!)

[haydn-jones]

yes, thats perfect!

Great. I'll jot down some features I'll consider adding:

• Command line configuration
• Single image input support
• Support input folder of images (perhaps recursive)
• GIFs
• Videos (stretch goal, will of course be slow)

Anything else you would like?

[im-pain]

i think that cover all my possible usages 😄

Just bumping this to let you know I'm still working on this. Really just need to get the CLI set up and stuff, inference is done.

bumping here just to say im still hyped for this update!🦇

We'll get this out after we finish the website rewrite/redesign (you can get a sneak peek here https://de-spaghetti.waifuxl.pages.dev/). We're pretty close!

[im-pain]

Okok, i'll keep waiting to the new rewrite(btw the sneak peek crashed my windows☠️)

Stale issue message

Just wanted to add that I'm also looking forward to the command line version. Ideally I'd like to be able to run it against image sequences, like a directory of PNGs so you can do entire video sequences.

This stupid bot keeps closing this issue. I'll get it done. Thanks for the support everyone

This will be addressed when we do 2.0. Pinky promise
