Most modem computers or game consoles are well equipped with powerful graphics processing units(GPUs) to accelerate graphics operations. However, since the graphics engines in these GPUs are specially designed for graphics operations, we could not take advantage of their computing power for more general nongraphic operations. In this paper, we studied the GPUs graphics engine in order to accelerate the image processing capability. Specifically, we implemented a JPEC2000 decoding/encoding framework that involves both OpenMP and GPU. Initial experimental results show that significant speed-up can be achieved by utilizing the GPU power.
