Inference using a GPU

❓ Questions

Hello, my question is the following, i would like to know if it's possible in any way to use cuda acceleration to process compressing and decompressing using Encodec? from what i've been reading i couldn't find anything that mentioned inference by gpu.. so i wanted to know if it's possible to use the gpu, that would be even more productive and useful, awaiting an answer, thank you in advance, att. Lucas.

@lucasbr15 Yes, it's possible with a few lines of modifications. Take a look at my forked repo or https://github.com/mimbres/encodec/blob/main/encodec/__main__.py

• '-g' or '--gpu' option is added for the use of GPU.
• '-t' or '--time' option for displaying elapse time.

@mimbres I'm really grateful for your repository now that it's using the gpu it's much faster, before a 3 minute audio took 1m 30s, now it only takes 20 seconds! once again, thank you!
