   For JPEG, if image is encoded using resolution progression, then decoder can not decode using quality progression (where image quality improves with each new piece of the image) and vice versa. With JPEG 2000, the decoder can decide which p

    Steinhaus, Ulam and many other mathematicians in the Lviv school were Jewish, and had to flee or go into hiding to survive the German occupation. Interesting that there is no mention of this in the article.

    What would be the use case for GPU encoding? Aren't the CPU encoders fast enough on 8-core or higher ?

    Puff piece. Yes, Nvidia dominates at the moment, but as many have said, this could easily change with a resurgent AMD. They have made all the right moves, IMHO, since Lisa Su took over: 0. Finally paying attention to software part of equati
