Description

I have a GTX 1050, and I would like to enable GPU processing. The configs allude to using the GPU for the use_cnn option. Is there a way to assert that the GPU is doing the processing?

I enabled use_cnn, but `time howdy test` took about 5 seconds (compared to an average 1.35), so I'm not sure if it is using the GPU or not.

Thanks

Research direction

Start with the configuration references to `use_cnn` and the `time howdy test` command mentioned in the report. Determine how GPU use can be verified for this setup, and document the required configuration and a reliable way to confirm that processing is occurring on the GPU.
