Hardware acceleration is the use of computer hardware designed to perform specific functions more efficiently when compared to software running on a general-purpose central processing unit (CPU). Any transformation of data that can be calculated in software running on a generic CPU can also be calculated in custom-made hardware, or in some mix ...
The older Clarkdale microarchitecture had hardware video decoding support, but no hardware encoding support; [5] it was known as Intel Clear Video. Version 1 (Sandy Bridge) Quick Sync was initially built into some Sandy Bridge CPUs, but not into Sandy Bridge Pentiums or Celerons. It adds H.264/AVC encoding and VC-1 decoding acceleration. [8]
A stress test (sometimes called a torture test) of hardware is a form of deliberately intense and thorough testing used to determine the stability of a given system or entity. It involves testing beyond normal operational capacity , often to a breaking point, in order to observe the results.
An AI accelerator, deep learning processor or neural processing unit (NPU) is a class of specialized hardware accelerator [1] or computer system [2] [3] designed to accelerate artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning applications, including artificial neural networks and computer vision.
The two building blocks of the construction, the algorithms Poly1305 and ChaCha20, were both independently designed, in 2005 and 2008, by Daniel J. Bernstein. [2] [3]In March 2013, a proposal was made to the IETF TLS working group to include Salsa20, a winner of the eSTREAM competition [4] to replace the aging RC4-based ciphersuites.
An example of vainfo output, showing supported video codecs for VA-API acceleration. The main motivation for VA-API is to enable hardware-accelerated video decode at various entry-points (VLD, IDCT, motion compensation, deblocking [5]) for the prevailing coding standards today (MPEG-2, MPEG-4 ASP/H.263, MPEG-4 AVC/H.264, H.265/HEVC, and VC-1/WMV3).
Since the same hardware is often used to provide both simulation acceleration and in-circuit emulation, these systems provide a blend of these two very different debugging styles. High end hardware emulators provide a debugging environment with many features that can be found in logic simulators, and in some cases even surpass their debugging ...
Heaven and other benchmarks by UNIGINE Company are often used by hardware reviewers to compare performance of GPUs [1] [2] [3] and by overclockers for online and offline competitions in GPU overclocking [4] [5]. Running Heaven (or another benchmark by UNIGINE Company) produces a performance score: the higher the numbers, the better the ...
