Abstract:
Computers and information
technology are proving themselves as energy-hungry partners
in a society with carbon emission issues to be resolved.
Video coding is a very computation-intensive,
energy-demanding task. We approach green computing applied
to video by setting task parameters in order to minimize
energy consumption for a given performance. We applied the
concept to H.264/AVC video coding, showing that one can
substantially reduce energy consumption at the expense of a
small rate-distortion (RD) performance penalty. We used a
state-of-the-art implementation, x264, for tests and show RD
results for comparisons and discussions.
