Intel oneAPI VPL 2024Q2 GPU Runtime Prepares For VVC Decode

([Intel] 6 Hours Ago VVC / H.266)


Intel's oneAPI Video Processing Library (VPL) GPU Runtime 2024Q2 release is now available along with an updated quarterly release of the Intel Media Driver.

Recently was the release by Intel of their [1]VA-API 2.22 library and [2]quarterly FFmpeg Cartwheel update with both releases focusing on adding GPU-accelerated VVC/H.266 video decoding in advance of Lunar Lake processors launching where they will be the first to add VVC/H.266 hardware decode capabilities. With this morning's oneAPI VPL GPU RT 2024Q2 release, they have also plumbed in the VVC decode support.

The VPL GPU Runtime now exposes Versatile Video Coding (VVC) support with its API. Plus the new version brings AV1 decode improvements, supports dynamic resolution change for HEVC/AVC/AV1 decode, enables buffer caching control for GPU-accelerated copying, and various other changes.

More details on this updated Intel Video Processing Library open-source software via [3]GitHub .

Also out today is the Intel Media Driver 2024Q2 release. With this new [4]release is improved software stability and fixing a possible GPU hang for AV1 encoding with FFmpeg.

phoronix

Now I was heading, in my hot cage, down towards meat-market country on the
tip of the West Village. Here the redbrick warehouses double as carcass
galleries and rat hives, the Manhattan fauna seeking its necessary
level, living or dead. Here too you find the heavy faggot hangouts,
The Spike, the Water Closet, the Mother Load. Nobody knows what goes on
in these places. Only the heavy faggots know. Even Fielding seems somewhat
vague on the question. You get zapped and flogged and dumped on -- by
almost anybody's standards, you have a really terrible time. The average
patron arrives at the Spike in one taxi but needs to go back to his sock
in two. And then the next night he shows up for more. They shackle
themselves to racks, they bask in urinals. Their folks have a lot of
explaining to do, if you want my opinion, particularly the mums. Sorry
to single you ladies out like this but the story must start somewhere.
A craving for hourly murder -- it can't be willed. In the meantime,
Fielding tells me, Mother Nature looks on and taps her foot and clicks
her tongue. Always a champion of monogamy, she is cooking up some fancy
new diseases. She just isn't going to stand for it.
