Hi I need to create a program that takes as input an image, and resizes it and blurs (using my own algorithm). I have this implemented in C++, but I was thinking if it is possible to offload this to an Intel GMA graphic core to make it faster? Any comments are welcomed. Fridrik

I think this is more suited to the Graphics Programming forum. You'd have to write some shader program... have you done that at all before?

I have created shaders before, sure, but never on a on-board graphic board. I don't even know if that is possible.

IIRC the GMA has limited pixel shader support but no vertex shader support (which should be enough for what you're trying to do).
