VCGE: Video Coding Grid Environment Using H.264 Video Compression Technologies

In this paper we propose video coding grid environment (VCGE), which is a project to provide a high performance video-coding platform in a grid-computing environment. As far, computational grids have become a vital emerging platform for high performance computing and video coding applications with high computing complexity have been used widely in many scientific research areas. We adopt the H.264 video compression technologies that are due to get high coding efficiency and high encoding performance in the new JVT while have very high computing complexity. VCGE is a combination of grid and H.264 video compression techniques on which complex video coding and other related applications can be carried out. In this paper, we discuss the infrastructure to provide the integration platform with both techniques, and give the components of the environment, which provides flexible and useful mechanism to achieve high video coding performance for video coding applications. The proposed design is very efficient for more complex video coding applications and presents us a novel video coding technology, which is leading a direction of grid application development
