ABSTRACT:
Parallel programming and execution systems and techniques are discussed herein. In accordance with one technique, a parallel programming model is used to decompose a complex process into parallelizable tasks with proper dependencies set by data objects as interfaces. Another technique features a scheduling mechanism that provides thread affinity and automatic load-balance management among an assortment of processing units such as CPUSs/CPU cores, GPUs/GPU cores, and/or hardware threads in a scalable manner. The models and techniques are applied in an exemplary manner to a digital media encoding process.
