GPU support?

Any interest in adding it? Could open up some very cool realtime (or near-realtime) options.

Here's a preview of the video I'm working on. Each frame takes a few minutes to render on my DigitalOcean Droplet with 2GB Ram.

Pretty sweet!

There is a GPU-enabled dockerfile for Caffe here: https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/tleyden5iwx/caffe-gpu-master/

And the tutorial on how to get up and running with GPU instances on AWS is here:

Unfortunately the cheap cloud providers like DigitalOcean and Vultr do not offer GPU instances, but their instances run you 10-20$/month. The AWS g2.2xlarge instance costs $0.65 per hour or ~500$/month.

Alternatively, if you have to use a CPU, then you can easily spawn ~50 worker nodes on DigitalOcean, have each one process a subset of the frames, then close down the cloud instances.
