Abstract: A system and a corresponding method of leveraging GPU resources to enhance performance of the interact-able content browsing (ICB) service are to utilize the computation capacity of the GPU of the graphics card to share the computation load originally taken by the CPU. The raw images depicted by the browser application program executed in the server can be directly retrieved from the VRAM of the graphics card by the encoder inside the GPU to be further encoded and streamed before being forwarded directly to distant clients.

Abstract: A distributed computing method for a distributed computing system which converts the data of a data-providing end into a format supported by a data-receiving end is disclosed. The distributed computing system comprises a plurality of processing elements, and the method comprises the steps of: recording a first profile of the data-receiving end; determining whether the data-receiving end supports the data of the data-providing end; if not, processing the data of the data-providing end into a format supported by the data-receiving end; and transmitting the processed data to the data-receiving end. The step of processing the data of the data-providing end into a format supported by the data-receiving end further comprises the steps of: partitioning the data into a plurality of sub-data; and assigning the plurality of sub-data to the plurality of processing elements for computing.

Abstract: A method for reducing the bit stream is disclosed. The method is used for transmitting multimedia data from a sender to a receiver via a network, wherein the multimedia data comprises a first GOP. The method comprises the steps of: acquiring transmission condition data; decoding the first GOP and converting it into a first color space; converting the first color space into a second color space according to the transmission condition data; and converting the second space into a second GOP according to the transmission condition data, whereby the sender can transmit the second GOP with the reduced bit stream in accordance with the transmission condition data to the receiver.
