This is a port of a version of the Basis Universal library from Binomial LLC. Basis Universal allows clients to compress an image into a super-compressed format which can then be used on a variety of GPUs by supporting rapid transcoding of the basis format to per-platform GPU supported formats.
Existing pipelines for real-time rendered content typically require compression to at least two formats for any given image, one for desktop GPUs and one for mobile GPUs.
