Khronos Announces Vulkan Video Encode AV1 & Encode Quantization Map Extensions (www.khronos.org)
submitted 1 day ago by JRepin@lemmy.ml to c/computergraphics@lemmy.ml
0 comments fedilink

The Vulkan Working Group at The Khronos Group has delivered a series of video decode and encode extensions since 2022 collectively referred to as "Vulkan Video." These extensions integrate hardware-accelerated stream compression and decompression using widely adopted codecs with the full power of Vulkan, enabling developers to seamlessly combine GPU-powered rendering and compute acceleration with video processing in a single highly efficient runtime.

Today, with the release of Vulkan 1.3.302, Khronos is proud to announce two new encode extensions. First, the highly anticipated Encode AV1 extension enhances Vulkan Video by adding AV1 encode functionality to complement its existing AV1 decode support. This milestone means that Vulkan Video now provides full decode AND encode acceleration for the H.264, H.265 and AV1 codec standards. Additionally, the new Encode Quantization Map extension introduces advanced encoding features for all supported codecs to Vulkan Video developers for the first time. We are confident these extensions provide the necessary building blocks for your advanced Vulkan Video applications!

Israel's lucrative relationship with the US tech industry (www.youtube.com)

Israel’s tech sector has always had a close relationship with Silicon Valley, with funding for its start ups coming from venture capital and US ‘Big Tech’. With some employees at the tech giants protesting the involvement of their companies, could this relationship be in trouble?

Reddit is profitable for the first time ever, with nearly 100 million daily users by JRepin in c/technology@beehaw.org

Well and behind it is stealing other peoples' work (posts and comments, moderation and administration) and selling them as yours. The oldest capitalist criminal trick in the book: privatization AKA primitive accumulation AKA enclosure of the commons.

What desktop enviroment do you use and why? by JRepin in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[-] JRepin@lemmy.ml 43 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

KDE Plasma on all my computers and also as desktop mode on Steam Deck. because it supports the latest technologies especially when it comes to graphics (HDR, VRR) also has best support for Wayland and multi-monitors. It looks great out of the box and it has a lot of features out of the box and I do not need to battle with adding some extensions that break with almost every update. KDE Plasma is also the most flexible desktop and I can set the workflow really to fit my desires and I can actually set many options and settings. And despite all these built-in features and configurability it still uses very few system resources and is very fast and smooth. Oh and the KDE community is one of the most welcoming I have met in FOSS world, and they listen to their users instead of the our way or the high way mentality I have so often encountered in GNOME for example. So yeah TLDR KDE Plasma is the one I like the most of all in the industry, even when compared to proprietary closed alternatives.

I agree and hope that what comes after it is even better at supporting gaming on GNU/Linux and contributing to various libre and opensource projects like KDE and Proton and Mesa and such.

And instead of the heaviest of sanctions imposed on genocidal Israel, some countries are even sending them more weapons. Leaders of all should imprisoned for war crimes and helping with warcrimes and crimes against humanity.

HDMI 2.1 by JRepin in c/gaming@lemmy.ml
[-] JRepin@lemmy.ml 33 points 1 month ago

Oh how I wish those TV manufacturers would get rid of HDMI and replace it with DisplyPort. HDMI mafia does not allow opensource implementations of HDMI specification and so not all latest features of it can be supported by graphics card drivers on GNU/Linux. Death to HDMI!

AMD Hiring To Improve Their Linux Driver/ROCm Installation Process Across Distributions by JRepin in c/linux@lemmy.ml

One way of greatly improving ROCm installation process would be to use the Open Build Service which allows to use the single spec file to produce packages for many supported GNU/Linux distributions and versions of them. I opened a feature request about this.
