CUDA H.264 transcoding test report in MediaCoderMediaCoder的CUDA H.264编码技术预览及测试报告 (zoominla posted on June 9th, 2009 )

NVIDIA’s cutting-edge CUDA tech is cool, and it’s been talking about throughout the internet. Also it’s attractive to us, we started cuda working from the start of the year. After a period of hard working, we finally successfully integrated it into MediaCoder, it’s very awsome. We can’t wait to annouce it and publish the test report.

The report mainly compares transcoding performance between CUDA-accelerated H.264 and X264. There are two parts, one is performance on HD encoding, the other is on low resolution encoding.
近两年NVIDIA的CUDA技术似乎成为业界新宠,其优良的科学运算加速能力确实首屈一指,引领着并行运算潮流,各行业都纷纷采用它来加速,搞得我们也跃跃欲试,呵呵,另外还有很多网友对MediaCoder的厚爱,希望在MC上体验一下CUDA加速的快感,于是我们决定了用CUDA加速MediaCoder转码。
年初我们几个开发人员就开始酝酿着采用CUDA加速H.264编码,毕竟H.264现在比较火,还是比较有前途。经过一段时间的紧张的开发,CUDA加速的H264编码器终于诞生,让性能卓越的MediaCoder有添一利器。废话不多说,下面贴一下内部测试的结果以飨各位网友,主要与x264编码性能做个对比。

MediaCoder 0.7.1 released – first free transcoder accelerated with NVIDIA CUDA technology (Stanley posted on June 8th, 2009 )

We are pleased to announce the release of the new version of MediaCoder 0.7.1. In this version, we start to make use of NVIDIA CUDA technology to accelerate H.264 encoding and video filtering.

A new encoder backend of “CUDA encoder” is added which can be chosen active on the Video tab.
