Keywords

DeepFaceLab

DeepFaceLab is an open-source software tool used for creating deepfake videos. It utilizes artificial intelligence to swap faces in videos with high accuracy. In the context of the video, DeepFaceLab 2.0 is the latest version of the software, and the tutorial focuses on its installation process. The script guides users through downloading the software from the official GitHub repository and selecting the appropriate build based on their system hardware.

GitHub

GitHub is a web-based platform that hosts and facilitates the version control and collaboration for software development projects using Git. In the video script, GitHub is mentioned as the source to access the official DeepFaceLab repository where users can find the latest releases of the software, including different builds for various hardware configurations.

NVIDIA RTX 3000 series

The NVIDIA RTX 3000 series refers to a line of high-performance graphics processing units (GPUs) designed for gaming and professional workloads. The script specifies that there is a build of DeepFaceLab 2.0 specifically optimized for and requiring an NVIDIA 3000 series GPU, indicating that users with these GPUs should use this build for better performance.

CUDA

CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) is a parallel computing platform and application programming interface (API) model created by NVIDIA. It allows software developers to use NVIDIA GPUs for general purpose processing. The script mentions that the NVIDIA build of DeepFaceLab supports GPUs with CUDA 3.5 and higher, which is necessary for the software to function properly.

AVX instruction set

AVX (Advanced Vector Extensions) is a set of instructions for the x86 and x86-64 instruction set architecture for microprocessors from Intel and AMD. It is used to enhance performance on certain types of mathematical calculations. In the context of the script, the '10) makes CPU only' build of DeepFaceLab modifies the software to work on a CPU with AVX instructions, allowing training on systems without a compatible NVIDIA GPU.
