SCHEDULER OF COMPUTER PROCESSES FOR OPTIMIZED OFFLINE VIDEO PROCESSING

A scheduler of video processes to be run on a cluster of physical machines. The scheduler splits video content into a plurality of video sequences based on at least one of a scene cut detection, a minimum duration, or a maximum duration. The video sequences are to be encoded on Operating-System-Level virtual environments in parallel. The scheduler also calculates, for each video sequence, based at least in part on the video sequence and a target coding time of the video content, a target computing capacity of an Operating-System-Level virtual environment to code the video sequence. The scheduler may also create, for each video sequence, an Operating-System-Level virtual environment having the target computing capacity to be instantiated on a physical machine in the cluster of physical machines.
