[Nouveau] GSOC 2016 Aspirant for Kepler Accelerated Video Encoding;

[Karol Herbst]

Hi,

I tried to look into that myself into the so called NVENC engine on my kepler
gpu, but never got to work on that (still on my todo list),
but it would be awesome if somebody else would work on that :)

My first steps were to get nvenc working with ffmpeg (I think the code actually
landed upstream).

Then there is a tool called valgrind-mmt with which you can see what the nvidia
userspace sends to the the kernel driver:
https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Valgrind-mmt/
Also there is a tool inside the kernel to trace what the nvidia kernel module
sends to the hardware called mmiotrace:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/trace/mmiotrace.txt

Also reading this might be of help: https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/

Usually I am around in the #nouveau IRC channel on freenode. If you have any
questions I think it would be best to stick around there.

If you need help with setting up any of those tools I will be glad to help you
there

Greetings
