Abstract
Embodiments of a software video encoder with GPU acceleration include a software encoder that partitions video processing tasks and assigns them to both a graphics processing unit (GPU) and a central processing unit (CPU). The partitioning and assigning is configurable for operation in different modes. The modes include a mode in which the total time for video processing (such as when transcoding a large existing file) is reduced, a mode in which less CPU cycles are consumed, thus freeing the CPU for other work, a mode in which the latency of processing (e.g., for video conferencing) is reduced, and a mode in which information from a game or other real-time activity being displayed on the screen is encoded.
