infrastructure for noobs

[pgergely]

Hi All,
just wanted to share some tips on how I set up the basic infrastructure to run this, for absolute beginners:

• Launch AWS g4dn.xlarge instance (note the nVidia GPU to support CUDA)
• Install CUDA Toolkit 11.2 ( https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-11.2.0-download-archive?target_os=Windows&target_arch=x86_64&target_version=Server2019&target_type=exenetwork )
• Install cuDNN v8.1.0 (January 26th, 2021), for CUDA 11.0,11.1 and 11.2 ( https://developer.nvidia.com/rdp/cudnn-archive )
  Add the /bin directories to your $PATH.
  You are ready to run

In my experience, the transcription is done at 20 audio seconds/seconds speed - which is great for me.

Thanks a lot for the work!
