General Discussion - Convert faster than before—Brorsoft Blu-ray Ripper speeds up jim19890308 - Tue Jul 12, 2011 11:03 pm Post subject: Convert faster than before—Brorsoft Blu-ray Ripper speeds up
CUDA is short for Compute Unified Device Architecture, which is a parallel computing architecture developed by NVIDIA .Because of harnessing the power of the GPU ,CUDA make your computer performance increase dramatically. Moreover, we can say it is the computing engine in NVIDIA GPUs that is accessible to software developers through variants of industry standard programming languages.
Compared with traditional general purpose computation on GPUs (GPGPU) using graphics APIs,here are some advantages of NVIDIA CUDA.
1. Scattered reads – code can read from arbitrary addresses in memory.
2. Shared memory – CUDA exposes a fast shared memory region (up to 48KB per Multi-Processor) that can be shared amongst threads. This can be used as a user-managed cache, enabling higher bandwidth than is possible using texture lookups.[12]
3. Faster downloads and readbacks to and from the GPU
4. Full support for integer and bitwise operations, including integer texture lookups（http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUDA#Advantages）
With these advantages of NVIDIA CUDA, more CPU resources can be spared for other applications, making your computer run 3-5 times faster. So, many soft wares have adopted the NVIDIA CUDA to take faster speed to their users,for example, Brorsoft blu-ray ripper for Windows.
The below is the test for the performance of BrorsoftBlu-ray Ripper for windows when converting M2TS to HD MP4 video with and without a CUDA-enabled graphics card respectively.
Computer specs:
Processor: Pentium? Dual-Core CPU
Memory: 2.00 GB
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce 310
Operation System: Microsoft Windows 7 Professional.
Brorsoft Blu-ray Ripper makes the conversion speed 3X then before.
NOTICE:
1.The Graphics Card affected a lot . The higher class of your Graphics Cards, the faster speed you will have. Usually, with the CUDA, the speed will be 3X faster. If your Graphics Card is above 500, you conversion speed surely will reach 5X faster.
2. the supported operation system of NVIDIA CUDA
Windows 7
Windows Vista
Windows XP
Windows Server 2008
Windows Server 2003
Linux
