Use `batch-size=1` on CPU and `batch-size>1` on GPUs. - Turn on separate target if the images in the directory belong to different person, otherwise, turn it off. - Run on GPU. The current fawkes package and binary does not support GPU. To use GPU, you need to clone this, install the required packages in `setup.py`, and replace tensorflow with tensorflow-gpu.
