Intel oneVPL Preps For Battlemage, Adds AI-Based Super Resolution

([Intel] 6 Hours Ago Intel VPL 2.13)


Intel has released a new version of their open-source Video Processing Library (VPL) for hardware-accelerated video encode / decode / processing across Intel graphics hardware.

The Intel VPL API 2.13 adds new APIs for facilitating AV1 screen content tools, encoded picture quality information, alpha channel encoding, AI-based frame interpolation, and AI-based super resolution support. Plus Intel oneVPL 2.13 adds initial support for Battlemage discrete graphics that are launching in the coming months.

In addition to the new APIs, for helping new developers embrace the Intel Video Processing Library is now a "hello-encode-jpeg" code example included for demonstrating JPEG encode with this VPL library.

phoronix

...One thing is that, unlike any other Western democracy that I know of,
this country has operated since its beginnings with a basic distrust of
government. We are constituted not for efficient operation of government,
but for minimizing the possibility of abuse of power. It took the events
of the Roosevelt era -- a catastrophic economic collapse and a world war --
to introduce the strong central government that we now know. But in most
parts of the country today, the reluctance to have government is still
strong. I think, barring a series of catastrophic events, that we can
look to at least another decade during which many of the big problems
around this country will have to be addressed by institutions other than
federal government.
