  • Load balancing method for video decoding in a system providing hardware and software decoding resources
    Patent number: 12238312
    Abstract: A load balancing method for video decoding. The load balancing includes first determining which hardware devices are suitable for the new decoding process, and determining the current load of each of the suitable hardware devices. From the suitable devices potential devices are selected having a current load less than a threshold and overloaded devices are selected having a load greater than or equal to the threshold. If there are no suitable devices, then the decoding process is implemented by software decoding. If the list of potential hardware devices includes only one potential hardware device, then the decoding process is implemented on the hardware device. If the list of potential hardware devices includes more than one potential hardware device, then it is determined how many decoding processes are currently running on each potential hardware device, and the new decoding process is implemented on the potential hardware device having the fewest processes.
