CUDA / GPU Acceleration

Post by jfkeenan »

I've been reading some cool stuff about the new nVidia cards and how they are providing developers the means to use the GPU to offload processing from the CPU for things like encoding. It would be cool to see this kind of parallel processing in use.

Yes it would. I think it would be a major improvement for the video editing/dvd authoring world...;)

I hope that the open source community gets onto it.

The only commercial device/program I've read about has been the "Badaboom" converter, which though very rapid with the right Nvidia GPU is very limited in it's configuration.

Just read that "another program" can be CUDA enabled right now by downloading a free patch.

The claimed improvement in encoding speed is up to 5x - though that will require the use of a top end NVIDIA video card.

So come on Corel, get with it!

12th November supplemental: other program now promises ATI AVT support in Q1 09. That should really shake things up!
