[FFmpeg-user] OpenCL? What Effect Does It Have

Okay.  But are they accelerated with OpenCL?

Multi-threaded is one thing.  OpenCL is another.  Are the
above converted to run with OpenCL?

Maybe my original question, and reply to Carl wasn't clear enough.

OpenCL is an API for using GPUs to do computationally
intensive tasks.  See this URL
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenCL
By coding expensiev tasks in OpenCL, especially image processing operations
which ffmpeg does all the time, you can achieve 10x to 100x performance
improvement.  I'd like to know what parts of ffmpeg have been
accelerated with OpenCL.  This could potentially improve the
performance and prestige of ffmpeg.  But it doesn't sound like much
work has been done in this area.  Is that true?
