The [stream](examples/stream) tool depends on SDL2 library to capture audio from the microphone. You can build it like this:
```bash
# Install SDL2 on Linux
sudo apt-get install libsdl2-dev
# Install SDL2 on Mac OS
brew install sdl2
make stream
```

## Benchmarks
In order to have an objective comparison of the performance of the inference across different system configurations,
use the [bench](examples/bench) tool. The tool simply runs the Encoder part of the model and prints how much time it
took to execute it. The results are summarized in the following Github issue:
