The document discusses using heterogeneous computing to achieve video compression with higher throughput and performance compared to software. It describes how OpenPOWER/CAPI+OpenCAPI can accelerate video encoding by 10x compared to software, with even better performance for higher resolution video. The design takes advantage of memory consistency and low latency to approach real-time encoding performance.
