The resulting code is about 5-6 times faster: from a median of 15 ms spent on mel spectrogram calculation on a high-end CPU, this works for about 2.2 ms. Given that the sizes are relatively small, the exact CUDA-capable GPU hardly matters. I see no significant difference between 4090 and 1660
HOWEVER this comes with the cost of adding new files and thus whisper.cpp is no longer a single h/cpp pair:
WHISPER_API
declarations. The definition toWHISPER_API
must be moved to yet another file.
