[Flac-dev] GPU-enabled FLAC encoder available

[Sumit Gupta]

Is anyone on this mailing list working on enabling FLAC using GPUs?

There is CUDA (GPU) accelerated FLAC encoder available now at:
http://www.cuetools.net/doku.php/flacuda

It has a chart with speedup results and here is a summary:
Compared to reference flac 1.2.1 on Core i7 940, it runs approximately 10
times faster on GeForce GTX 285, when using higher compression ratios (modes
-7, -8). FlaCuda -8 is faster than flac -0, and provides better compression
than flac -8.

I am not a FLAC developer, but am curious to find out how 3rd party projects
like this one
are interfaced into the FLAC sourceforge project.

Thanks
