An apparatus for encoding and decoding video receives a request to decode a current video frame. The apparatus determines whether encoding is within a threshold for a previous video frame. Additionally, the apparatus waits for the encoding to start if the encoding is within the threshold. Further, the apparatus provides a signal to begin encoding the current video frame. Also, the apparatus submits a decode workload to a graphics processor unit (GPU) for the current video frame. The apparatus additionally submits, in parallel with submitting the decode workload to the GPU, an encode workload to the GPU for the previous video frame.

Encoding and decoding video

Technologies may provide for processing video content. A request to process video content may be received at a user mode driver. In response, the user mode driver may insert a command associated with the request into a command buffer. In addition, the user mode driver may enqueue the command buffer to receive a further request to process further video content independent of an execution of the command by platform hardware. Additionally, a command submission process may dequeue the command buffer and call a kernel mode driver. The kernel mode driver may receive the system call independent of the user mode driver and submit the command buffer to the platform hardware to process the video content.
