Video encoding comes to mind.

Video encoding comes to mind.
- arsome 7y agoDepends on your use case but the most recent GPU encoders are pretty solid actually. Used to be that they were awful for quality, but more recently they seem to have vastly improved.
- BubRoss 7y agoThe person above was asking what people use AVX512 for and video encoding is a big use case, better GPU encoders don't change that.
- arsome 7y agoThe person above also pointed out that things like machine learning are often better done on a GPU anyways. Certainly if you offload your video encoding to your GPU it does change the value proposition of that entirely.
- BubRoss 7y agoI'm not sure what you are trying to say exactly but it seems like you are making some sort of prediction of the future. Video encoding, especially newer codecs like HEVC and VP9 are CPU intensive and SIMD optimized tasks that people are doing right now.
- arsome 7y agoI'm not referring to any sort of future prediction, those people can switch to GPU encoding of video right now and enjoy better performance. https://developer.nvidia.com/video-encode-decode-gpu-support-matrix https://developer.nvidia.com/video-encode-decode-gpu-support...
- BubRoss 7y agoThey asked what people are using it for right now and video encoding is one of those things. This is very direct. They didn't ask about solutions or what they should do about a particular problem, just about what people are currently doing.
