可伸缩性视频编码的码率分配算法

本文研究了渐进的精细的可伸缩性(Progressive Fine Granular Scalable,PFGS)视频编码的增强层码流的码率分配问题,它是由PFGS各帧的增强层码流长度不同引起的.我们首先建立了PFGS增强层的多帧联合的率失真(rate-distortion,R-D)函数,并通过MPEG-4标准测试序列检验了它的正确性.然后利用联合率失真函数给出了局部最优的码率分配算法,并进行了简化使得它的复杂性极低,非常适合流化视频(streaming video)服务器使用.实验结果显示本文提出的算法不仅使得各帧图像的解码质量比较平衡,而且将PFGS的编码效率提高了将近0.5dB.

A power scalable PLL frequency synthesizer for high-speed △-∑ ADC

A 35-130 MHz/300-360 MHz phase-locked loop frequency synthesizer for △-∑ analog-to-digital con- verter （ADC） in 65 nm CMOS is presented. The frequency synthesizer can work in low phase-noise mode （300-360 MHz） or in low-power mode （35-130 MHz） to satisfy the ADC＇s requirements. To switch between these two modes, a high frequency GHz LC VCO followed by a divided-by-four frequency divider and a low frequency ring VCO followed by a divided-by-two frequency divider are integrated on-chip. The measured results show that the fre- quency synthesizer achieves a phase-noise of-132 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset and an integrated RMS jitter of 1.12 ps with 1.74 mW power consumption from a 1.2 V power supply in low phase-noise mode. In low-power mode, the frequency synthesizer achieves a phase-noise of-112 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset and an integrated RMS jitter of 7.23 ps with 0.92 mW power consumption from a 1.2 V power supply.     

Network-Adaptive Rate Control and Unequal Loss Protection with TCP-Friendly Protocol for Scalable Video Over Internet

Video communication with Quality of Service (QoS) is an important and challenging task. To have QoS provision at application level in the current best-effort Internet, rate control, congestion control and error control are several effective approaches. In this paper, we propose a new network-adaptive rate control and Unequal Loss Protection (ULP) scheme in conjunction with TCP-friendly congestion control for scalable video streaming. Our proposed approach is capable of simultaneously controlling congestion and packet loss occurred across the Internet. More specifically, we first dynamically estimate the available network bandwidth on the fly. Then, TCP-friendly congestion control is performed to smoothly adjust the sending rate for transmission of continuous media. Considering the characteristic of scalable video, unequal loss protection at packet level is adopted for different video layers while performing congestion control. Consequently, a fixed-length and priority-based packetization scheme is introduced to enhance the capability of loss protection and improve the efficiency of network-bandwidth utilization. Moreover, Rate-Distortion (R-D) based bit allocation is proposed to minimize the expected end-to-end distortion. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed scheme.     

Load control in scalable distributed file structures

The paper presents a family of distributed file structures, coined DiFS, for record structured, disk resident files with key based exact or interval match access. The file is organized into buckets that are spread among multiple servers, where a server may hold several buckets. Client requests are serviced by mapping keys onto buckets and looking up the corresponding server in an address table. Dynamic growth, in terms of file size and access load, is supported by bucket splits and bucket migrations onto the existing or newly created servers.The major problem that we are addressing is achieving scalability in the sense that both the file size and the client throughput can be scaled up by linearly increasing the number of servers and dynamically redistributing the data. Unlike previous work with similar objectives, our data redistribution considers explicitly the cost/performance ratio of the system by aiming to minimize the number of servers that are used to provide the required performance. A new server is added only if the overall server load in the system does not drop below a pre-specified threshold. Simulation results demonstrate the scalability with controlled cost/performance and the importance of global load control. The impact of various tuning parameters on the effectiveness of the load control is studied in detail. Finally, we compare our approach with other approaches known to date and demonstrate that each of the previous approaches can be recast as a special case of our model.

Dynamic Simulation of Multibody Systems Using a New State-Time Methodology

This paper presents a new methodology demonstrating the feasibility and advantages of a state-time formulation for dynamic simulation of complex multibody systems which shows potential advantages for exploiting massively parallel computing resources. This formulation allows time to be discretized and parameterized so that it can be treated as a variable in a manner similar to the system state variables. As a consequence of such a state-time discretization scheme, the system of governing equations yields to a set of loosely coupled linear-quadratic algebraic equations that is well-suited in structure for some families of nonlinear algebraic equations solvers. The goal of this work is to develop efficient multibody dynamics algorithm that is extremely scalable and better able to fully exploit anticipated immensely parallel computing machines (tera flop, peta flop and beyond) made available to it.
