At least on paper, some hardware h.265 decoding is supported on Intel since Haswell (2013), on nVidia since Maxwell 2-nd gen (2015), on AMD since Polaris (2016)

- gubbrora 7y agoIs it possible to (ab)use that hardware support to do other tasks by mapping them to a decoding task?
- Const-me 7y agoDunno. Why would you want to? You can already compute lots of stuff on GPUs. Couple generations ago, AMD did the other way, they used GPU shader ALUs for video encoding/decoding. They stopped doing that because power efficiency is worse than custom silicon that’s now in all modern GPUs, even in mobile SoCs.
