Time and performance measurements for Fastvideo SDK modules on NVIDIA GPUs for grayscaleand color images don't take into account host I/O latency (image loading to RAM from HDD/SSD
and saving back). We have presented timings for computations on GPU only. As soon as any imageprocessing pipeline consists of series of such algorithms (SDK modules), it's a reasonable approach
to measure only computation time, assuming that initial and final images reside in GPU memory.

Demo software for Image & Video Processing on CUDA
One can download demo applications for JPEG Codec, JPEG2000 Codec, Debayer and Resizer fromwww.fastcompression.com/download/download.htm. These are high performance applications withcommand-line interface to evaluate both performance and quality of GPU-based Image & Video
Processing SDK. Other sample applications could be found in the SDK.
The latest version of Fast CinemaDNG Processor is available from www.fastcinemadng.com
The latest release of Fastvideo SDK is available upon request.
