Intel VCA 2 & Intel Media Software vs local ffmpeg "bake off"

Hello,

I've been directed here by Intel support, in reference to a head:head comparison "bake off" in throughput between Intel VCA 2 + Intel Media Software vs localized Linux (ubuntu/centos) tools such as ffmpeg, etc.

The attached screenshots show the VCA2 card installed, the Intel provided Ubuntu image for each node along with benchmark results from Intel provided benchmark scripts.

For a successful "bake off", I need to understand how to use the Intel Media SDK software against ffmpeg one-liner's leveraging the "Big Buck Bunny" video examples.

Any/all help would be greatly appreciated, the documentation on Intel Media SDK is very lacking.

Thanks,

Steven Lemons
