Intel changes the focus on support for video acceleration to oneVPL, the open-source specification API, with the newest update to increase reliance on more product lines
The latest update supports Intel Arc A series GPUs, Rocky Linux support, and graphics card support for a wider variety of previous-generation GPUs, such as Tiger Lake. Intel oneVPL is described on the company’s website as, Now, Intel is capable of supporting Tiger Lake processors and 12th Gen graphics, also known as Arc A series. At the same time, the dispatcher from the oneVPL update can focus on previous Intel Media SDK as far back as eighth-generation graphics hardware — the Broadwell hardware series. On the open-source side, RHEL-based Rocky Linux allocation has received added support. The new Arc A graphics support will open up aid for the next-generation discrete graphics that Intel is manufacturing and providing for new desktops and laptops. For Microsoft users, Windows 11, Visual Studio toolchain, and Windows Server 2022 will now be supported by Intel oneVPL. The updated oneVPL library shows improvement for multiple adapters and GPU uses, and the oneVPL dispatcher will include new support for the API 2.6 specification. Now, multiple Intel GPUs with Intel Media SDK graphics will find assistance from oneVPL. Below are the recent additions to the code and fixes.
