Abstract

In this paper, we propose a parallel algorithm for H.264/AVC intra frame encoding by using the graphics processing unit (GPU). The proposed algorithm can handle 4×4 intra block prediction and reconstruction. By rearranging the encoding order of 4×4 blocks and modifying the architecture of H.264/AVC encoder, thirty times speed up can be achieved which utilizing the computing power of GPU without any loss in coding efficiency.
