Intel^® VPL

The Intel^® Video Processing Library (Intel^® VPL) is a programming interface for video decoding, encoding, and processing to build portable media pipelines on CPUs, GPUs, and other accelerators. It provides device discovery and selection in media centric and video analytics workloads as well as API primitives for zero-copy buffer sharing. Intel^® VPL is backwards and cross-architecture compatible to ensure optimal execution on current and next generation hardware without source code changes.
