PROFILE
Rachelchengrj
Rachel Cheng contributed to the intel/media-driver repository by developing and optimizing video encoding features using C++ and low-level hardware interfacing. Over three months, she delivered AV1 dual encoding via the VDEnc pipeline, enabling higher throughput and resource efficiency, and implemented Adaptive TU-aware Palette Mode management to boost AV1 encoding performance. Rachel also addressed a critical bug in the HEVC encoding metadata resolution flow, improving reliability by enforcing proper register cleanup and command sequencing. Her work focused on performance optimization and stability, demonstrating depth in driver-level programming, hardware-accelerated video encoding, and software optimization for complex media workloads on Intel platforms.

Sep 1, 2025September 2025: Delivered AV1 Encoding Performance optimization in intel/media-driver with Adaptive TU and Palette Mode management to boost AV1 encoding throughput and stability. Implemented dynamic Palette mode state based on Adaptive TU and fixed a perf regression in the AV1 path on PTL. Also improved tile command handling and batch buffer construction for AV1 encoding, reducing overhead in the encoder pipeline. The work was achieved with a targeted fix committed to address the Adaptive TU perf issue and was focused on the media-driver repository to maximize hardware-accelerated encoding performance.
