Abstract: A scheduler of an apparatus exposes an application programming interface (API) usable to specify quality-of-service (QoS) parameters, e.g., latency, throughput, and so forth. An application, for instance, specifies the QoS parameters for a workload to be processed using a hardware compute unit. The QoS parameters are employed by the scheduler as a basis to configure a partition within a hardware compute unit. The partition is configured such that processing resources that are available via the partition to process the workload comply with the specified quality-of-service.

Abstract: Methods and devices are provided for processing image data on a sub-frame portion basis using layers of a convolutional neural network. The processing device comprises memory and a processor. The processor is configured to receive frames of image data comprising sub-frame portions, schedule a first sub-frame portion of a first frame to be processed by a first layer of the convolutional neural network when the first sub-frame portion is available for processing, process the first sub-frame portion by the first layer and continue the processing of the first sub-frame portion by the first layer when it is determined that there is sufficient image data available for the first layer to continue processing of the first sub-frame portion. Processing on a sub-frame portion basis continues for subsequent layers such that processing by a layer can begin as soon as sufficient data is available for the layer.

Abstract: A streaming video server generates a virtual file system that includes virtual addresses of a plurality of encrypted segments of a plurality of video programs at each of a plurality of bitrates, without storing the plurality of encrypted segments in persistent storage. A request is received from a client device to access a selected one of the plurality of video programs via a request to access the virtual file system. The plurality of encrypted segments of the selected one of the plurality of video programs are generated at a selected bitrate, in response to the request.

Abstract: A streaming video server includes a virtual file system that stores playlist data corresponding to a plurality of video programs available from at least one video source and that stores variant playlist data corresponding to each of the plurality of video programs that indicates a single variant for streaming each of the plurality of video programs. The streaming video server receives a request for a selected one of the plurality of video programs from a client device. The selected one of the plurality of video programs is retrieved from the at least one video source in response to the request. A rate generator generates rate data based on the transmission feedback data. A plurality of encoded segments are generated from the selected one of the plurality of video programs, based on rate data.

Abstract: A streaming video server includes a virtual file system that stores playlist data corresponding to a plurality of video programs available from at least one video source and that stores at least one initial video program segment for each of the plurality of video segments.
