Usage of mobile devices for multimedia content playback is drowning the battery power rapidly. High quality videos which are streamed from the internet are power consuming and demand high network bandwidth. We measured the power consumption and bitrate of video sequences in respect to different spatial resolutions and used acceptability-based Quality of Experience (QoE) model for determining the impact of video resolution on QoE. The results showed that both power and bandwidth can be saved without noticeable reduction in QoE when transcoding video to a resolution specific to the mobile device instead of using standard video resolutions.
In this paper, we present an overview of the European Processor Initiative (EPI), one of the cornerstones of the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking, a new European Union strategic entity focused on pooling the Union’s and national resources on HPC to acquire, build and deploy the most powerful supercomputers in the world within Europe. EPI started its activities in December 2018. The first three years drew processor and platform designers, embedded software, middleware, applications and usage experts from 10 EU countries together to co-design Europe’s first HPC Systems on Chip and accelerators with its unique Common Platform (CP) technology. One of EPI’s core activities also takes place in the automotive sector, providing architectural solutions for a novel embedded high-performance computing (eHPC) platform and ensuring the overall economic viability of the initiative.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
