How is it any different from waifu2x-caffe? #22

Can you train this one? Because I think in my opinion waifu2x-caffe is more flexible and easy to use... any thoughts? Not really an issue just a question.

I think w2x-converter-cpp is faster than w2x-caffe.

YukiSakuma commented 8 years ago

Thanks for the answer but I am using the latest waif2xcaffe and did a comparison it seems w2x-caffe is now faster than w2x-conv-ccp

  1. cuDNN is proprietary and nVidia's license prohibits redistribution of the .dll required to use cuDNN.
  2. This fork works reasonably well on non-CUDA hardware, and runs much faster on CPU compared to the original cpp version. The only thing really behind caffe is the GUI.

In my tests I found waifu2x-caffe to be faster on my cpu, by almost triple in some cases, the results were virtually the same. Either way it's good to have options, the developers' work on this project is still very much appreciated, competition is healthy :]
