Updates the README, crate docs and benchmarks/ with numbers measured on the current master, after the FP16 trunk, resident LSTM and epilogue changes (#56 to #62).

What changed

  • VoxConverse dev on an RTX 4090 (16 CPU cores, 8 GiB, driver 580.126.18; median of 3 runs in one container):

    • cuda: 63.4 s → 40.9 s (1153x → 1786x)
    • cuda-fast: 36.8 s → 22.0 s (1985x → 3325x)
    • DER unchanged at 7.0% and 7.4%
  • VoxConverse test on an RTX 4090: one run each on another container (driver 595.99.02). cuda 1921x and cuda-fast 3722x, with DER unchanged at 11.1% and 11.2%.

  • pyannote comparison: pyannote can't be rerun on that host. Its rows stay at 2301.3 s (dev) and 6341.3 s (test), and the text now says they ran in an earlier container with the same configuration, so the speedups (about 56x and 105x on dev) compare separate runs.

  • Tested NVIDIA GPUs table: the 10-file VoxConverse subset, median of 3 runs, now with 16 CPU cores on every GPU instead of 2 on the non-4090 cards. The text now says these times include process start-up and model loading.

    GPU cuda GPU-specific build
    T4 294x 294x
    A10 432x 436x
    L4 310x 312x
    A100 40 GB 1296x 1296x
    RTX 4090 1453x 1438x
  • Batch API note: the docs now say the speakrs timings use the batch API (run_batch_stream).

  • Older rows: the other datasets' rows and the cuDNN comparison are labelled as coming from an earlier version.

Accuracy

On full VoxConverse dev, compared with 6d5e696 in the same container:

  • cuda DER went from 7.0118% to 7.0112%. Three files changed, by at most 0.141 points.
  • cuda-fast was identical on all 216 files.
  • On the 10-file subset, DER was 14.0654% on every GPU and build.

Checks

cargo rdme --check, cargo fmt --check, and cargo doc --no-deps --lib --features coreml with -D warnings pass.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Updated CUDA and CUDA Fast benchmark results, including VoxConverse Dev and Test processing times and throughput.
    • Clarified run conditions, timing methodology, and comparisons across datasets, implementations, and separate containers.
    • Added aggregate processing-time estimates for about 229 hours of audio: 12 minutes with CUDA and 7 minutes with CUDA Fast.
    • Updated tested-GPU results to include startup and model-loading time, with consistent 16-core runs.
    • Noted that GPU-specific builds perform within about 1% of CUDA.

Measure the current master (61bca38) for the README.

On an RTX 4090 with 16 CPU cores, full VoxConverse dev now takes 40.9 s with
cuda (1786x) and 22.0 s with cuda-fast (3325x), the median of 3 runs. DER is
unchanged at 7.0% and 7.4%. VoxConverse test runs at 1921x and 3722x. The
10-file table now has 16 CPU cores on every GPU and new T4, A10, L4, A100 and
RTX 4090 values.

pyannote wasn't rerun, so the docs now say its rows come from an earlier
container with the same configuration and that the speedups compare separate
runs. They also note that the speakrs timings use the batch API.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request updates benchmark measurements, run methodology, and performance summaries. It revises VoxConverse CUDA timings and RTFx values, aggregate runtime estimates, pyannote comparisons, and tested-GPU figures.

Changes

Benchmark reporting

Layer / File(s) Summary
VoxConverse run methodology and results
benchmarks/README.md, benchmarks/voxconverse-*.txt, README.md, src/lib.rs
The notes distinguish speakrs and pyannote run environments and describe use of run_batch_stream. VoxConverse CUDA timings and RTFx values are updated; DER and error percentages remain unchanged.
Published benchmark comparisons
README.md, src/lib.rs
The reported VoxConverse speedups, timing estimates, RTFx figures, and aggregate runtime estimates are revised. The test-set pyannote comparison is also updated.
GPU performance reporting
README.md, src/lib.rs
GPU-specific build performance wording and tested-GPU RTFx values are updated. The notes state that timings include process startup and model loading, and that every run used 16 CPU cores.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Other


Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 03c03

The refreshed performance figures lack enough run detail for independent reproduction, so treat the comparisons as provisional; the documentation changes do not alter runtime behavior.

90-98: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Publish the run evidence for the CUDA figures.

The README provides hardware and run counts, and the Reproduce section provides generic commands. The checked-in VoxConverse records contain only aggregate times. They do not expose the raw samples, exact invocation, source/build identity, correctness status, or speedup ratio direction. A reader cannot recompute the three-run median or reproduce the same build. The single-run Test rows also provide no variance data.

Add and link an artifact such as benchmarks/voxconverse-cuda-raw.txt with the raw samples, exact command, commit SHA, build features, hardware identity, correctness result, and explicit ratio direction.

Say in the README header and the speedup sentences that pyannote ran earlier, note that the VoxConverse test row is one run on driver 595.99.02, and attribute WAV decoding to the worker threads that feed the batch API.
