CUDA forced alignment kernels
Optimized CUDA forced alignment kernels. 10x – 1000x faster blog post: https://www.bryanthornbury.com/posts/fast-forced-alignment github: https://github.com/brthor/fast-forced-aligner I developed optimized CUDA kernels to speed up my forced alignment pipelines using Astra. To my surprise, I was able to achieve speeds 10x - 1000x faster than popular existing open source options, including the torchaudio implementations I was using before. I'm sharing them for anyone else who finds them useful. The acceleration from AI is getting wild.
