MythTV Adds Support For NVIDIA VDPAU
,----[ Quote ]
| NVIDIA also provided a set of patches that enabled MPlayer to use this API
| that offloads video decoding and other tasks to the GPU. The formats
| supported by VDPAU are currently H.264, MPEG, WMV3, and VC-1. In our VDPAU
| benchmarks we found this NVIDIA video implementation to work very well and
| the CPU usage was much lower during video playback.

AMD Makes An Evolutionary Leap In Linux Support
,----[ Quote ]
| Tux being part of their licensed box design, forthcoming CrossFire support,
| and other major features coming are major wins for the Linux community. For
| those concerned that AMD is attempting to build back up its binary blockade,
| don't worry as their open-source strategy will continue with the RV770. AMD
| engineers are in the process of sanitizing the programming documentation for
| this brand new GPU for public release in the coming weeks. We suspect the
| xf86-video-ati and xf86-video-radeonhd developers will have the documentation
| even sooner under NDA. In addition, the open-sourcing of KGrids and TCore
| will be relevant and helpful for the 2D and 3D RV770 open-source support.

AMD Releases Stream SDK For Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| NVIDIA's competition for Stream computing is CUDA, which is the Compute
| Unified Device Architecture, or CUDA for short. CUDA has been supported on
| Linux now for some time and NVIDIA is in the process of bringing PhysX to
| CUDA, for physics acceleration thanks to their acquisition of AGEIA. Intel's
| competition is Ct, or C for Throughput Computing.
