Do you have CUDNN drivers installed?
I ran into this as well with no extra libraries or drivers installed. Just the basic 'full install' consumer Nvidia drivers for my GPU. Essentially the 'starting thread' lines showed, the whole process kinda of idled for a number of minutes with no work before displaying the 'thread exiting' messages and then attempting (and failing) to continue the rest of the script.
Based on some other tools that already use waifu2x-caffe it is a requirement to install the extra CUDNN library. From my brief testing it looks like installing extra CUDA cruft isn't a requirement and the basic drivers will suit it just fine.
Run over to https://developer.nvidia.com/cudnn and sign up for a full dev account (free) and download the appropriate CUDNN 'Library' for your version of Windows and CUDA. v10 should suffice as it did me. You'll get a zip file and in one of the folders a huge 200-300MB dll. Drop this DLL straight into the waifu2x-caffe folder.
EDIT: Upon further checks, according to the waifu2x-caffe github CUDA processing should work without CUDNN. Not exactly sure why that isn't the case here. However this isn't a terrible workaround. No installation, just dropping a dll from a zip file into the waifu2x-caffe folder and go.
@cr08 I already have the CUDNN drivers installed a long time ago before I brought this project back to life. Also I have no extra hardware to test this software without CUDNN installed.
Therefore I'll figure out, somehow, how to test this script properly. Maybe I'll have to get another installation of Windows on a separate hard drive.
Closing this issue due to inactivity. Feel free to repoen it at any time.
So im back and now having this error:
