Abstract: The present disclosure provides devices and methods relating to remote direct memory access (RDMA). In one implementation, a target device of the RDMA operation is configured to receive a packet including a first destination address and a destination key, obtain one or more offset values, and obtain a second destination address based on the first destination address, the destination key, and the one or more offset values. Further, the target device is configured to initiate the RDMA operation on a memory based on the second destination address.

Abstract: A computerized method and system of segment-based video encoding optimization, the method comprising obtaining a set of input segments constituting an input video stream; selecting one or more input segments in accordance with a selection criterion to be one or more representative segments; determining an encoding instruction and obtaining one or more encoded representative segments encoded from the representative segments in accordance with the encoding instruction and using a quality-driven video encoding scheme; determining, based on the encoded representative segments, an encoding configuration, and obtaining one or more encoded input segments encoded from at least a sub-set of the input segments using the encoding configuration; determining an evaluation instruction used to evaluate quality for each encoded input segment; and generating an output video stream, by selecting, for each input segment, a corresponding output segment from a group comprising at least one of the following candidate segments: the
