Possibility of running HERBS via a GPU #18

Open JHartig opened 2 years ago

JHartig commented 2 years ago

Hey. I was wondering if any of you already tried to run HERBS via a powerful GPU workstation. I've got one available and as far as I understood, HERBS for now does not primarily run a GPU. As some of the graphical loading processes take quite some time, I wondered whether there was a simple possibility to make the HERBS GUI access and solely use a GPU (if available) and run processing operations via the GPU. (smth like tensorflow?)

Did you try this @JingyiGF ?

Best,

Johannes :)

Good idea and thanks for the suggestion. HERBS is built on PyQT and PyQtGraph. If I write the 3d or image container from Qt directly, I think it is possible to use a GPU-acceleration. just had a quick look at pyqtgraph, seems there is some image container has a gpu api now in the latest version. perhaps can try to update HERBS after a stable version is obtained :-) but right now, I have a lot of other urgent things to do :-)
