[x264-devel] x264 and DSP or FPGA

[Georg Lippitsch]

Hi,

there has been a discussion about x264 accelerated by FPGA or DSPs some  
years ago, but I have not found any updates since then.

Would it be possible (and also make sense) to port some of the x264  
functions to a DSP or FPGA and gain some speed with that? If so, how much  
amount of work would that be?

I know that x264 is better than any hardware encoder on a PC, but how on  
embedded platforms like ARM?
What I actually want to achieve is a decent h.264 encoding on a device  
using only around 10W electrical power. Is there some room for  
optimization in such a case using dedicated hardware?


Thanks!

Georg
