Summary

Several attempts have been made in order to speed-up the total computational time required by the HEVC standard to encode a video sequence. In this paper, we propose a hierarchical parallelization approach in the HEVC encoder based on GOPs and slices so as to better exploit the hardware resources available in the parallel architecture and to significantly reduce the total encoding time of a video sequence. The main idea in this hierarchical approach is to divide the video sequence in GOPs or group of GOPs that will be assigned to each computing node. Inside each node, every frame or picture that belongs to a GOP will be split in as many number of slices as the number of computing processes in that node. In this manner we will be able to take advantage of both distributed and shared memory parallelism. The results show that speed-ups of up to 68x (using 10 nodes and 11 processes per node) can be obtained when combining both GOPs and slices techniques for high resolution video sequences.
