| Abstract | MPEG-2, developed by the MPEG of the ISO/IEC, is the international standard for
video codec. It is intended for applications requiring bit-rates of 2 Mbps. Traditionally, realtime MPEG-2 video encoding can be done either using special-purpose hardware or generalpurpose software solution. However, the hardware-based encoder has the following key
disadvantages: is very expensive, is less flexible than software-based and is optimized for a
particular algorithm. Therefore, the software based is more interesting.
In this study, we implemented the parallel processing to improve the performance of
real-time MPEG-2 video encoding algorithm based on the software solution. We also
presented the different implementations including Message-passing programming, Shared-memory programming, Data parallelism and Functional parallelism. These implementations
were performed on the HP Convex Exemplar SPP1600 using the SPMD paradigm. Finally, the
results which achieved from our experiments, are discussed to find the best solution. |
