VA-API (Video Acceleration API) user mode driver for Intel GEN
|
||
|
|
Graphics family.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
VA-API is an open-source library and API specification, which
|
||
|
|
provides access to graphics hardware acceleration capabilities for
|
||
|
|
video processing. It consists of a main library and driver-specific
|
||
|
|
acceleration backends for each supported hardware vendor.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The current video driver backend provides a bridge to the GEN GPUs
|
||
|
|
through the packaging of buffers and commands to be sent to the
|
||
|
|
i915 driver for exercising both hardware and shader functionality
|
||
|
|
for video decode, encode, and processing.
