  2. Hardware acceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_acceleration

    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 ...

  3. Video Acceleration API - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_Acceleration_API

    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).

  4. DirectX Video Acceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DirectX_Video_Acceleration

    DirectX Video Acceleration (DXVA) is a Microsoft API specification for the Microsoft Windows and Xbox 360 platforms that allows video decoding to be hardware-accelerated. The pipeline allows certain CPU -intensive operations such as iDCT , motion compensation and deinterlacing to be offloaded to the GPU .

  5. VP9 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VP9

    VP9 is an open and royalty-free [1] video coding format developed by Google.. VP9 is the successor to VP8 and competes mainly with MPEG's High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC/H.265).

  6. Kodi (software) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kodi_(software)

    Kodi has greater basic hardware requirements than traditional 2D style software applications: it needs a 3D capable graphics hardware controller for all rendering. Powerful 3D GPU chips are common today in most modern computer platforms, including many set-top boxes, and XBMC, now Kodi, was from the start designed to be otherwise very resource-efficient, for being as powerful and versatile a ...

  7. Unified Video Decoder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Video_Decoder

    The UVD version in "Fiji" and "Carrizo"-based graphics controller hardware is also announced to provide support for High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC, H.265) hardware video decoding, up to 4K, 8-bits color (H.265 version 1, main profile); [18] [19] [20] and there is support for the 10bit-color HDR both H.265 and VP9 video codec in the AMD ...

  8. Direct Rendering Manager - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_Rendering_Manager

    The Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) is a subsystem of the Linux kernel responsible for interfacing with GPUs of modern video cards.DRM exposes an API that user-space programs can use to send commands and data to the GPU and perform operations such as configuring the mode setting of the display.
