Feature request: hardware accelerated JPEG decoding #176

Open byteshuffle opened 1 year ago

byteshuffle commented 1 year ago

Loading large JPGs can be very slow on an older CPU. Hardware accelerated GPU JPEG decoding (for example https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/programmable/support-resources/design-examples/horizontal/jpeg-decoder.html or https://developer.nvidia.com/nvjpeg) would be very welcome in my opinion.
