Question about Quick Sync
Hello to everybody, first I apologize for my poor english. As far as I know there is no support in Linux for Intel Quick Sync. This release would help in the future for having that technology available? It would be great to have such thing for ffmpeg, for example.

eugeni_dodonov & Kayden,
How much involvement from the Open Source community do you see after these documentation drops are made?

Originally posted by Kayden View PostIt is rather daunting at first I remember when I first started looking into GPU programming, and figured I'd read through the G965 documentation. Then I discovered it was nearly 2000 pages (small by today's standards!), a lot of which doesn't make much sense without the right background, and quickly got lost.
But speaking seriously, it is a very interested read, as those documents explain lots of background behind the programming of different stages of GPU. At least for execution units programming, 3d engine programming and core stuff it is a very interesting read to understand how things work under the hood. Display part is very interesting as well, but it requires much more background to make sense though..

Originally posted by schmidtbag View PostAnyways back to the article, IMO, documentation that in-depth isn't helpful at all. What good is a reference when you've got that many pages to go through? Its a GPU reference, how much info could they possibly supply that'd be relevant to anybody, including intel's own developers?
I pretty much live and breathe these documents now, referring to them almost every day; the trick is to ask someone for pointers on where to find what you need, and after a while, you begin to see how they're organized and where to find stuff. We definitely could use some more overviews and introductory level documentation though. I've meant to try and put together a Gen assembly tutorial at some point, as it's considerably more complicated than your usual x86 stuff.

Intel HD graphics ? not for 3D anyway
my old PC had a nvidia 8800 GTS, and that was working nicely with Linux for years.
Now I have an Ivy bridge i7-3370 with a wonderful open source driver.
the truth is I can't play anymore very simple games like the one in the humble indie bundle (Trine 2 and Shank for example).
and due to the S3TC issue, I find it easier to install & configure nividia binary blob than intel driver.
So nvidia has closed source driver which is bad, but at least you can play 3D games with it.

Anyone who has taken high school Economics should understand the concept of opportunity-cost. Nvidia could have made a huge profit in selling those graphics cards, but they lost the order. They may not have literally lost cash they had on hand, but they did 'lose money', as they missed the opportunity to make a huge profit.
...Back on track, my desktop drives me crazy. Nvidia card, cruddy video acceleration in linux (in ubuntu 12.04 there's a bug that causes vdpau to suck when using Unity 3D). MY RASPBERRY PI can play video smoother than it.
Definitely getting Ivy Bridge for my next desktop.Last edited by sn0w75; 23 June 2012, 01:41 PM.

Well, even on Window$, the HD4000 video display engine and its encoder/decoder is lightyears ahead of Intel's competition. There's a smoothness and clarity to it in Blu-ray (1080p) films I just can't describe. I'd love to see developers tweak Intel's newest GPU and see just how awesome it can perform in Linux. Intel should be applauded for their noble efforts to help drive open documentation on open source platforms. These are exciting times!
