works fine on Linux and OS X, and Movit is not very POSIX-bound.)
* GNU Make.
* A GPU capable of running OpenGL 3.0 or newer. GLES3 (for mobile devices)
* The [epoxy] library, for dealing with OpenGL extensions on various
platforms.

Still TL;DR, please give me the list of filters
GPU programming is probably the _simplest_ way of writing highly parallel code,
and it also frees the CPU to do other things like video decoding.
-Although compute shaders are supported, and can be used or speedups if
+Although compute shaders are supported, and can be used for speedups if
available (currently, only the deinterlacer runs as a compute shader), it is
surprisingly hard to get good performance for compute shaders for anything
nontrivial. This is also one of the primary reasons why Movit uses GLSL and
not any of the major GPU compute frameworks (CUDA and OpenCL), although it
is also important that it is widely supported (unlike CUDA) and driver quality

Exactly what speeds you can expect is of course highly dependent on
your GPU and the exact filter chain you are running. As a rule of thumb,
