FFmpeg可通过Nvidia的GPU进行加速,其中高层接口是通过Video Codec SDK来实现GPU资源的调用。Video Codec SDK包含完整的的高性能工具、源码及文档,支持,可以运行在Windows和Linux系统之上。从软件上来说,SDK包含两类硬件加速接口,用于编码加速的NVENCODE API和用于解码加速的NVDECODE API(之前被称为NVCUVID API)。从硬件上来说,Nvidia GPU有一到多个编解码器(解码器又称硬件加速引擎),它们独立于CUDA核。从视频格式上来说,编码支持H.264、H.265、无损压缩,位深度支持8bit、10bit,色域空间支持YUV 4:4:4和4:2:0,分辨率支持最高8K;解码支持MPEG-2、VC1、VP8、VP9、H.264、H.265、无损压缩,位深度支持8 bit、10bit、12bit,色域空间支持YUV 4:2:0,分辨率支持最高8K。Video Codec SDK已经被集成在ffmpeg工程中,但是ffmpeg对编解码器配置参数较少,如果需要充分的发挥编解码器特性,还需要直接使用SDK进行编程。
Nvidia编码器与CPU上的x264的性能对比与质量对比如下图所示,性能以每秒钟编码帧数为参考指标,质量以PSNR为参考指标。
可看出性能方面Nvidia编码器是x264的2~5倍,质量方面对于fast stream场景来说Nvidia编码器优于x264,高质量场景来说低于x264,但没有说明是哪款Nvidia的产品,以及对比测试的x264运行平台的CPU的型号及平台能力。下图可以看出对于1080P@30fps,NVENC可支持21路的编码或9路的高质量编码。
不同型号的GPU的编码的能力表格如下:
Nvidia解码器性能指标如下图所示,不过只有两款Tesla的产品。
解码的能力表格如下:
需要关闭所有开源的显示驱动
vi /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
添加
blacklist amd76x_edac
blacklist vga16fb
blacklist nouveau
blacklist nvidiafb
blacklist rivatv
(1). 删除原来的驱动
apt-get remove –purge nvidia*
(2). 官方下载run文件的驱动进行安装
service lightdm stop
chmod 777 NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-367.44.run
./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-367.44.run
service lightdm start
reboot
(2). 驱动安装验证
运行nvidia-smi,有如下输出则安装成功
问题1:如果重启之后发现图形界面进不去,发生了循环登录,说明视频驱动没有安装完全,需要重装驱动,保险的方法是联网安装
console中执行
apt-get remove –purge nvidia-*
add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
apt-get update
service lightdm stop
apt-get install nvidia-375 nvidia-settings nvidia-prime
nvidia-xconfig
apt-get install mesa-common-dev //安装缺少的库
apt-get install freeglut3-dev
update-initramfs -u
reboot
(1). 官方下载run文件的驱动进行安装
cuda_8.0.44_linux.run –no-opengl-libs //不需要opengl支持
apt-get install freeglut3-dev build-essential libx11-dev
apt-get install libxmu-dev libxi-dev libgl1-mesa-glx libglu1-mesa
apt-get install libglu1-mesa-dev
gedit ~/.bashrc
添加
export PATH=/usr/local/cuda/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
gedit /etc/ld.so.conf.d/cuda.conf
添加
/usr/local/cuda/lib64
/lib
/lib32
/lib64
/usr/lib
/user/lib32
sudo ldconfig
(2). SDK安装验证
运行nvcc -V,有如下输出则安装成功。
进入Samples目录,运行make,如果没有安装OpenGL相关库,则NvDecodeGL会编译不通过
每个工程的含义可参考《NVIDIA_Video_Codec_SDK_Samples_Guide》
NvEncoder: 基本功能的编码
NvEncoderCudaInterpo: CUDA surface的编码
NvEncoderD3D9Interpo: D3D9 surface的编码,Linux下没有
NvEncoderLowLatency: 低延时特征的使用,如帧内刷新与参考图像有效性(RPI)
NvEncoderPerf: 最大性能的编码
NvTranscoder: NVENC的转码能力
NvDecodeD3D9: 视频解码D3D9显示,Linux下没有
NvDecodeD3D11: 视频解码D3D11显示,Linux下没有

参见《NVIDIA_Video_Codec_SDK_Samples_Guide》
问题2:如果运行例子后显示libcuda.so failed!
在/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu下制作链接libcuda.so,链接至libcuda.so.375.26
确保Video_Codec_SDK_7.1.9/Samples/common/inc 目录下有基本的头文件
确保Video_Codec_SDK_7.1.9/Samples/common/lib/linux/x86_64 目录下有libGLEW.a

Result = PASS
(1). GTX1070
| | hevc编码 | h264编码 | h264转h265 | h265转h264 |
| 60fps | 387fps(6.45x) | 430fps(7.17x) | 348fps(5.79x) | 170fps(2.84x) |
| 30fps | 345fps(11.5x) | 429fps(14.3x) | 318fps(10.6x) | 94fps(3.13x) |
(2). P4
| | hevc编码 | h264编码 | h264转h265 | h265转h264 |

| 30fps | 212fps(7.07x) | 322fps(10.7x) | 198fps(6.59x) | 94fps(3.14x) |
虽然在硬件性能上,P4比GTX1070显存略少,主频略低,CUDA的数量多出了33%,但从实验结果上看除了h265->h264结果持平外,P4表现都要逊色于GTX1070,这和官网所言“编解码器独立于CUDA核”相一致。
集成在ffmpeg框架内的视频编解码器需要定义一个AVCodec结构体包含(私有结构体AVClass、三个函数等)
(1). 结构体(nvenc_h264.c)
AVCodec ff_h264_nvenc_encoder = {
.name = "h264_nvenc",
.long_name = NULL_IF_CONFIG_SMALL("NVIDIA NVENC H.264 encoder"),
.type = AVMEDIA_TYPE_VIDEO,
.id = AV_CODEC_ID_H264,
.init = ff_nvenc_encode_init, //初始化函数
.encode2 = ff_nvenc_encode_frame, //编码函数
.close = ff_nvenc_encode_close, //关闭函数
.priv_data_size = sizeof(NvencContext), //内部数据结构,见nvenc.h
.priv_class = &h264_nvenc_class, //私有结构体
.defaults = defaults,
.capabilities = AV_CODEC_CAP_DELAY,
.caps_internal = FF_CODEC_CAP_INIT_CLEANUP,
.pix_fmts = ff_nvenc_pix_fmts,
};
static const AVClass h264_nvenc_class = {
.class_name = "h264_nvenc",
.item_name = av_default_item_name,
.option = options, //编码器选项参数在这个AVOption结构体中
.version = LIBAVUTIL_VERSION_INT,
};
注意还有两个AVCodec,一个名字叫nvenc、一个叫nvenc_h264,对应三大函数与h264_nvenc是一样的
(2). 处理函数(nvenc.c)
av_cold int ff_nvenc_encode_init(AVCodecContext *avctx)
{
NvencContext *ctx = avctx->priv_data; //读入私有结构体
...
//下面是一些nvenc的api
nvenc_load_libraries
nvenc_setup_device
nvenc_setup_encoder
nvenc_setup_surfaces
nvenc_setup_extradata
...
}
int ff_nvenc_encode_frame(AVCodecContext *avctx, AVPacket *pkt,
const AVFrame *frame, int *got_packet)
{
...
if (frame) {
inSurf = get_free_frame(ctx); //来一帧
...
res = nvenc_upload_frame(avctx, frame, inSurf);//编一帧
...
}
}
av_cold int ff_nvenc_encode_close(AVCodecContext *avctx)
{
...
//一些free和destroy的工作
}
(1). 结构体(nvenc_hevc.c)
AVCodec ff_hevc_nvenc_encoder = {
.name = "hevc_nvenc",
.long_name = NULL_IF_CONFIG_SMALL("NVIDIA NVENC hevc encoder"),
.type = AVMEDIA_TYPE_VIDEO,
.id = AV_CODEC_ID_HEVC,
.init = ff_nvenc_encode_init, //初始化函数
.encode2 = ff_nvenc_encode_frame, //编码函数
.close = ff_nvenc_encode_close, //关闭函数
.priv_data_size = sizeof(NvencContext), //内部数据结构,见nvenc.h
.priv_class = &hevc_nvenc_class, //私有结构体
.defaults = defaults,
.pix_fmts = ff_nvenc_pix_fmts,
.capabilities = AV_CODEC_CAP_DELAY,
.caps_internal = FF_CODEC_CAP_INIT_CLEANUP,
};
static const AVClass hevc_nvenc_class = {
.class_name = "hevc_nvenc",
.item_name = av_default_item_name,
.option = options,//编码器选项参数在这个AVOption结构体中
.version = LIBAVUTIL_VERSION_INT,
};
注意还有一个AVCodec,一个叫nvenc_hevc,对应三大函数与h264_nvenc是一样的
(2) 处理函数(nvenc.c)
同h264的处理函数
