What is rocJPEG?
|
|
********************************************************************

|
AMD GPUs contain one or more media engines (VCNs). Each VCN has one or more JPEG engines
|
|
that provide fully accelerated, hardware-based JPEG decoding. Hardware decoders consume lower power
|
|
than CPU-based decoders. Dedicated hardware decoders offload decoding tasks from the CPU, boosting
|
|
overall decoding throughput. With proper power management, decoding on hardware decoders can lower the
|
|
overall system power consumption and improve decoding performance.
|
|
|
|
Using the rocJPEG API, you can decode compressed JPEG streams while keeping the resulting YUV
|
|
images in video memory. With decoded images in video memory, you can run image post-processing
|
|
using ROCm HIP, thereby avoiding unnecessary data copies via PCIe bus. You can post-process images
|
|
using scaling or color space conversion and augmentation kernels (on a GPU or host) in a format for
|
|
GPU/CPU-accelerated inferencing and training.
|
|
|
|
In addition, you can use the rocJPEG API to create multiple instances of JPEG decoder based on the
|
|
number of available VCNs/JPEG engines in a GPU device. By configuring the decoder for a device, all available
|
|
VCNs can be used seamlessly for decoding a batch of JPEG streams in parallel. |
