✦ Synopsis

MPEG vrdeo compression is quite drfficuh

to achieve rn real trme, and hardware solutions for this problem are expensive.

We present a portable, fault-tolerant, parallel, MPEG-I encoder Implemented in software.

We detail the implementation strategy for the encoder and grve performance results on a network of workstatrons and a massively parallel processor. We also show that our encoder can efficrently adapt to fluctuating processing power typical in workstation networks.
