Abstract: A dynamic resource allocation system in a switch is provided. During operation, the system can represent, to an operational unit of the switch, a first subset of hardware elements of the switch that are allocated to the operational unit as a logical element. The system can then determine a request for dynamic reallocation of the hardware elements to the operational unit. Accordingly, the system may determine whether the reallocation of the hardware elements is feasible in the switch. If the reallocation of the hardware units is feasible, the system can allocate a second subset of the hardware elements to the operational unit during the runtime of the switch. The system can then incorporate the second subset of the hardware elements into the logical element.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for enhancing streaming performance through controlled and selectively-applied reductions in the color depth of streamed video content. In various embodiments, the method includes receiving, at a streaming media server, a request transmitted over a communications network to stream video content to a client media receiver. In response to this request, a streaming video session is initiated between the client media receiver and the streaming media server. During the streaming video session, the streaming media server obtains the video content as video input data having an original color depth; generates an encoded video stream from the video input data, while selectively reducing a color depth of the encoded video stream; and transmits the encoded video stream over the communications network to the client media receiver. The streaming media server repeats the steps of generating and transmitting until termination of the streaming video session.
