Abstract:
In view of the characteristics of distributed applications, the present invention proposes a technical solution for applying a shared memory on an NIC comprising: a shared memory configured to provide shared storage space for a task of a distributed application, and a microcontroller. Furthermore, the present invention provides a computer device that includes the above-mentioned NIC, a method for controlling a read/write operation on a shared memory of a NIC, and a method for invoking the NIC. The use of the technical solution provided in the present invention bypasses the processing of network protocol stack, avoids the time delay introduced by the network protocol stack. The present invention does not need to perform TCP/IP encapsulation on the data packet, thus greatly saving additional packet header and packet tail overheads generated from the TCP/IP layer data encapsulation.

Abstract:
In one example, this disclosure describes a method of decoding a frame of video data comprising a plurality of block-sized coding units including one or more largest coding units (LCUs) that include a hierarchically arranged plurality of relatively smaller coding units. In this example, the method includes determining a granularity at which the hierarchically arranged plurality of smaller coding units has been split when forming independently decodable portions of the frame. The method also includes identifying an LCU that has been split into a first section and a second section using the determined granularity. The method also includes decoding an independently decodable portion of the frame that includes the first section of the LCU without the second section of the LCU.
Abstract:
A system and method for encoding a first picture sequence and a second picture sequence into coded pictures, with the first picture sequence and the second picture sequence being different, and with at least one coded picture of the second picture sequence being predicted from at least one picture in the first picture sequence. According to various embodiments of the present invention, signal element is encoded into a coded picture of the second picture sequence. The signal element indicates whether a picture in the first picture sequence is used for prediction of the coded picture of the second picture sequence.

In one example, an apparatus for signaling information for video data includes a processor configured to receive video data for two or more views of a scene, form a representation comprising a subset of the two or more views, and send, to a client device, as a part of a manifest of the representation, information indicative of a maximum number of views in the representation that can be targeted for output. An apparatus for receiving information for video data may receive the manifest including the information indicating the maximum number of views and request at least a portion of the video data of the representation based at least in part on a maximum number of views that can be output by the apparatus and the information indicative of the maximum number of views in the representation that can be targeted for output.
Abstract:
This disclosure relates to techniques for reducing a cost of coding prediction information in video coding. Video blocks in a generalized P/B (GPB) frame are encoded using up to two motion vectors calculated from reference pictures in two separate reference picture lists that are identical. When one of the reference picture lists is preferred over the other reference picture list, the preferred reference picture list may be used for unidirectional prediction, by default. When a GPB frame is enabled such that the first and second reference picture lists are identical, either of the first and second reference picture lists may be used for unidirectional prediction. The techniques include coding one or more syntax elements indicating that a video block is coded using one of the unidirectional prediction mode with respect to a reference picture in a reference picture list and the bidirectional prediction mode using less than two bits.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an effective method for migrating the system services on which applications depend, rather than all of the system services, from a source OS platform to a target platform, in order to provide a suitable and consistent environment for the applications, while reducing the cost of the migration. The migration method further classifies the configurations of system services on different platforms into common configurations and specific configurations to accelerate the determination of the source of a migration error.
Abstract:
A video file may include movie fragments divided into sub-track fragments that store all pictures of common hierarchical levels for the respective hierarchical levels. In one example, an apparatus includes an interface configured to output data according to a streaming protocol, and a control unit configured to assemble encoded video data into a plurality of sub-track fragments, each of the sub-track fragments comprising a plurality of hierarchically related video pictures of the encoded video data, wherein the plurality of hierarchically related video pictures each correspond to a common hierarchical layer receiving a request in accordance with the streaming protocol, wherein the request specifies at least one of the plurality of sub-track fragments, and, in response to the request, cause the interface to output the plurality of hierarchically related video pictures of the at least one of the plurality of sub-track fragments.
