A generic parallel pattern interface for stream and data processing

PiPo, a Plugin Interface for Afferent Data Stream Processing Operators

We present PiPo, a plugin API for data stream processing with applications in interactive audio processing and music information retrieval as well as potentially other domains of signal processing. The development of the API has been motivated by our recurrent need to use a set of signal processing modules that extract low-level descriptors from audio and motion data streams in the context of d...

Generic Framework for Parallel and Distributed Processing of Video-Data

This paper presents a software framework providing a platform for parallel and distributed processing of video data on a cluster of SMP computers. Existing video-processing algorithms can be easily integrated into the framework by considering them as atomic processing tiles (PTs). PTs can be connected to form processing graphs that model the data flow. Parallelization of the tasks in this graph...

Exploiting Manycore Architectures for Parallel Data Stream Processing

Parleda: a Library for Parallel Processing in Computational Geometry Applications

ParLeda is a software library that provides the basic primitives needed for parallel implementation of computational geometry applications. It can also be used in implementing a parallel application that uses geometric data structures. The parallel model that we use is based on a new heterogeneous parallel model named HBSP, which is based on BSP and is introduced here. ParLeda uses two main lib...

Locality Aware Task Scheduling in Parallel Data Stream Processing

Parallel data processing and parallel streaming systems become quite popular. They are employed in various domains such as real-time signal processing, OLAP database systems, or high performance data extraction. One of the key components of these systems is the task scheduler which plans and executes tasks spawned by the system on available CPU cores. The multiprocessor systems and CPU architec...
