Demonstration of GPU-accelerated JPEG2000 interoperability
Salt Lake City. Acceleration of data processing using graphics processing units (GPUS) has become one of the hottest topics in high-performance computing in recent years. This trend was quite obvious at SuperComputing’12 conference in Salt Lake City, USA, a world’s largest conference and exhibition on high-performance computing, network and storage.
Together with CIENA, SURFNET and Felix International, CESNET association set up a networked 4K video playback demonstration. CESNET showcased its GPU-accelerated JPEG2000 encoder as a data source for the network transmissions. The setup also demonstrated in real-world the interoperability of GPU JPEG2000 encoder with industry-strandard FPGA-accelerated solution developed by INTOPIX, which was used for playout of the video. While FPGA-accelerated solution is designed primarily for incorporation into dedicated hardware devices, the GPU accelerated solution is suitable for commodity server, workstations and even mobile laptop applications.
