- Successfully installed the Zotac GeForce GTX 1050 Ti graphics card in the Dell Optiplex 3020 desktop.
- Installed CUDA SDK using web installer, https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads
- Tried following https://jamesbowley.co.uk/build-opencv-4-0-0-with-cuda-10-0-and-intel-mkl-tbb-in-windows/ for building OpenCV. Configure kept failing, saying fseeko not found. So, decided to use the pre-compiled library from https://jamesbowley.co.uk/downloads/
- https://jamesbowley.co.uk/opencv-3-4-gpu-cuda-performance-comparison-nvidia-vs-intel/ gives an interesting test comparison.
- For comparing my code, which reads from disk and then does computations for 50 images, tried a test with the computation part commented out.
- A simple sample program, to perform a 2D DFT and inverse, gave the following results on running more than once -
