Do CUDA GPUs improve Tesseract 4.x LSTM performance? #5

Closed EtagiBI closed 4 years ago

EtagiBI commented 4 years ago

Hello,

According to this article, it's possible to significantly improve LSTM performance using CUDA GPUs. Since Tesseract 4.x uses new LSTM-based core, is it true that it should perform better with CUDA-powered GPUs?

If yes, it would be helpful to have a description (or a note at least) in documentation.

Tesseract would indeed be much faster with a GPU. You just have to add the necessary code which currently does not exist.

And please use the user forum for questions.
