Abstract
Moving Picture Expert Group (MPEG) encoding is a computationally expensive operation. This paper outlines a method of compressing video streams from within a Resolution Independent Video Language (RIVL) using the MPEG standard of compression in parallel. Two processes, a client and a server, work in tandem to parallelize the MPEG encoding process. The client dispatches jobs to each of the available servers for processing and the servers handle the compression of the video streams. The goal of Optimal Parallel MPEG Encoding is to derive a scalable, robust protocol to efficiently handle this computation. 1. INTRODUCTION We implemented an algorithm which encodes MPEG[8] videos using a network of workstations on a shared file system. To accomplish this, the video to be encoded is divided at logical breaks in the video stream. These breaks are determined either by use of an existing cut detector or an automatic step size calculation. The major advantage of this implementation is increased p...
