That's only ~187MP/s. A single 4k 2160p60 stream needs almost 500MP/s, which might be at the edge of what's possible on a CPU today, but would make far more sense for a GPU to do.
It shouldn't be a stretch for a quad-core desktop processor today. Doubling the core count and increasing clock speed by 40% compared to a mobile Core 2 isn't hard. DDR4 instead of DDR2 means memory bandwidth is probably not an issue, and AVX can probably provide further headroom on the compute power.
And, of course, it's much easier to build a desktop with far more than four CPU cores these days.
This is very cool!
In 1999 my degree final year project was to implement an mpeg decoder in software.
My only source of information was the MPEG technical reference manuals.
It took me 3 months to be able to decode my first frame.
It ran at less than 10fps on an AMD K6, but I learn a lot about video and compression.
I did exactly the same, but instead purely for fun and learning. Picked a random/blind clip from a naughty movie for extra motivation to get the first frames to the screen :D
I also worked from just the reference book, with no prior knowledge of video coding at all, which made it quite a puzzle to get something on the screen and moving, but it was extremely satisfying when it all worked (to some extent, the thing was horribly slow, broke after one group of predicted frames, and I never implemented chroma, just luma)
I'm in a similar situation and I am thinking about the same thing.
Once Brexit happens I think there is a high chance that a lot of software development jobs will be lost, specially in the City of London.
This will depress wages and mixed with a lower sterling will make for a bad time for developers.
But even if this does not happen, xenophobia will most likely rise as it will be given political backing by whoever comes into power.
It could become nasty for foreigners.
I have exactly the same symptoms and a history of pancreatic cancer in my family. Not sure how to try to escalate this further or if that seems ridiculous. What did you do to get further exams?
I became severely anemic after a few months and the e/r did an MRI, looking for internal bleeding. They found the tumor then.
My GP had x-rayed me, looking for a cardiac anomaly - he suspected an aortic aneurism. What he should've done is order some soft tissue radiology instead. Having your GP consider a CT or MRI is my advice.
Hope in your case it's all for naught. Best to check though.
Every time i read news about corruption i check if Italy is being mentioned. This is how i found your comment. This is how i decided to reply that yeah in Italy corruption is a second state (voluntarily lowercase).
I hope the lack of growth in hardware sales makes the company improve their services and lower their hardware prices instead of trying to increase hardware replacement rates via shorter life cycles.
