nice, nice...

Oh, I see... I see... I see a GPU accelerated RedCine...

I wonder if that means all CS4 will get GPU boost? If so, those of us who have waited for Abobe workflow to come to pass will maybe have one of, if not THE best, solution. Just thinkin' out loud.

REDCINE is using GPU already.
REDAlert is not.

Andrew,

Have you used both? Just wondering if you see any of the kind of performance boost using REDCINE that the article on THG shows Photoshop achieving.

Redcine may be GPU accelerated, but Photoshop is *most likely* being accelerated through Nvidia's Cuda Language. So, it's not really 3D/video accelerated.

I am not a programmer, but I think Cuda treats all the stream processors in the 8000/9000 geforce cards as a Multi-processor CPU. Typically an 8800 series would have 96 to 128 Stream Processors.

DirectX10 or OGL would be more popular choices than cuda.

This is false about the next release of Photoshop.

John Nack says it is something they are working on, but not for the next release.

:ranting2: All I can say is SOMEBODY better get GPU stream processing. It makes little if any sense to not take advantage of a computer add-on that is tantamount to adding a co-computer for the kind of work needed for video-data processing.

Is this some Intel conspiracy to stop AMD from gaining superiority because of their (seemingly) GPU approach to computing?:holloween:

It is something that the GPU companies have been working on for the better part of a decade but nobody has anything beyond POC demos at this point. I know AMD has demonstrated GPU accelerated HD video encoding at tech expos and Nvidia (to my knowledge) has been working on it for years with little or no progress beyond occasionally listing and then removing GPU accelerated encoding as an abstract product feature of their PureVideo hardware/software for the last few generations of GPUs. Nividia's new TESLA add-ons vaguely infer the possibility of being used for such a thing but I've yet to see any actual demonstrations of the hardware.
