There are some efforts out there to do full JPEG decoding in CUDA[0], and hybrid approaches[1]. Actually, AMD supports JPEG decoding via OpenCL implementation in their drivers[2] and Intel has native hardware decoding in their latest GPUs[3]. So yeah, I'm not getting the joke ): [0] http://sourceforge.net/projects/gpujpeg/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/gpujpeg/ [1] http://developer.amd.com/resources/documentation-articles/articles-whitepapers/jpeg-decoding-with-run-length-encoding-a-cpu-and-gpu-approach/ http://developer.amd.com/resources/documentation-articles/ar...
