The primary focus of MPEG encoding algorithms is 1) To create fast
|
|
and efficient motion vector search techniques and 2) To find "good"
|
|
encoding parameters that provide a balance of encoding speed,
|
|
compression and quality.
|
|
|
|
The Berkeley encoder accelerates the process by parallelizing in
|
|
the temporal direction. The overall organization of the encoder is
|
|
shown in Figure 2. The Master server is the overall coordinator.
|
|
It allocates groups of frames to the Slave servers for encoding.
|
|
The sharing of the files is achieved best, if the directories
|
|
containing the video files are NFS mounted and accessible uniformly
|
|
to all processors (alternatively they can be sent out though sockets
|
|
by the Master). The various activities are managed by inter process
|
|
communication through sockets.
