maddog107/av1gpu: A CUDA-accelerated AV1 still-image encoder for AVIF

av1gpu is a CUDA-accelerated AV1 still-image encoder that writes AVIF files directly from JPEGs, PNGs, and WebPs on an NVIDIA GPU. According to benchmarks, it converts JPEGs significantly faster and more efficiently than CPU-based encoders like libaom and SVT-AV1 while maintaining comparable file sizes and high visual quality, using a fraction of a CPU core.
