Explanation of new features of Adobe Flash Player 10: Support for GPU Acceleration

Recently, Adobe finally released the official Flash Player 10 version, completed the industry's long-awaited upgrade, and integrated with the recent Adobe cs4 package, this may be the most important update in the software history.

Adobe claimsFlash Player 10 can bring "disruptive network visual experience"This is not an exaggeration. Developers can now use 3D effects, custom graphics filters and effects, print-level text rendering engines, enhanced drawing and sound API interfaces, and more, this will not significantly increase the CPU burden, becauseFlash Player 10 supports gpgpu universal computing Acceleration.

If your video card supports OpenGL 2.0 and OpenGL coloring language (glsl), Flash Player 10 can improve performance and release CPU resources at the same time. GPU can accelerate Flash Player 10 in graphics, video decoding and playback, overwriting and applying bitmaps, filters, and mixed modes.

With Flash Player 10, developers can use Adobe's pixel blender technology to create and share custom filters and effects, and use them across platforms.

The latest HD video encoding format is also supported, and the video stream will adjust the quality according to the user's network bandwidth adaptability to ensure smoothness.

The re-built text rendering engine brings professional typographical printing technology.Supports cross-line ing characters, text wrapping, bidirectional text, right-to-left or vertical text formatting, smooth anti-sawtooth, rendering, text style, and other effects. Adobe says that this is the first time a printing-level text rendering quality can be brought to the network.

Drawing APIs and enhanced vector data types now support 3D effects and do not need to write complex graphics layer by layer.

The new file upload and download API can be used in network applications.ProgramFile Upload, download, and save operations.

The opening of low-level sound access allows developers to execute real-time sound mixing and audio filtering through pixel distortion technology through ActionScript, while the high-fidelity Open-Source Audio Encoder speex is also supported, in addition, Audio Encoding formats include ADPCM, he-AAC, MP3, and nellymoser.

Finally,Adobe opens Flash technology to search engines so that they can index information embedded in SWF files.That is to say, you can easily search for flash resources through the search engine in the future. Adobe also warrants that "the top-level search engine will understand the internal situation of rich Internet applications (APIS) and other content that use Adobe Flash technology to create and embed HTML web pages, to improve the search accuracy ".
