Unlock Media Features on More CPUs, GPUs, and Accelerators

There are many uses for video I/O—broadcasting, streaming, video on demand (VOD), in-cloud gaming—and lots of hardware platforms on which to run it.

This poses a potential problem: video decode, encode, and frame processing are ideal candidates for hardware acceleration, but multiple hardware and operating system-specific code paths are hard to maintain.

Enter the Intel® Video Processing Library (Intel® VPL), the successor to Intel® Media SDK.

In this session, technical consulting engineer Mark Liu introduces the library. The topics covered include:

• How it enables your applications to access current and future hardware features better than its predecessor, including API enhancements
• Intel’s video accelerator hardware and architecture
• Software options to access video acceleration and recommendations for which one to choose
• How to test-drive Intel VPL samples and tools on the Intel® Developer Cloud

Get the Intel VPL as part of the Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit, a core set of tools and libraries for developing performant applications across diverse architectures.

• Sign up for an Intel Developer Cloud account—a free development sandbox with access to the latest Intel hardware and oneAPI software.
• Explore oneAPI, including developer opportunities and benefits.
• Subscribe to the podcast—Code Together is an interview series that explores the challenges at the forefront of cross-architecture development. Each biweekly episode features industry VIPs who are blazing new trails through today’s data-centric world. Available wherever you get your podcasts.
