<0> Right. We have a erm, "machine", that does video processing rather quickly.
<0> Our main software (not the plugin crap) is designed as a server/client system.
<0> So editing/post/rendering can all be piped through the software and it will manage
<0> all the stuff that you can imagine needs managing (minus the bits I haven't thought of yet).
<0> However, we want to offer online processing to those people with this software.
<0> Ergo they connect to our server(s) to do the bulk of their processing.
<0> The network requirements, however, are driving me slowly into denial.
<1> hum
<1> video
<1> so you mean big files
<0> Not just video either.
<1> HalfWayMan, unix or windows ?
<0> Ah. Well the software is windows.
<0> Server-side can be anything I can code.
<1> I see
<0> The machine is specialised, so I just need to be able to chat to it :)
<1> well, you will need a big time machine
<0> The thing is, our colour space is seriously huge.
<1> the software works on 64 bits ?
<1> I mean you should just need to recompile it on a 64 bits machine with a windows 64...
<1> maybe will only be this
<1> well
<1> It shouldn't be a big issue
<1> to setup such a server
<1> seems a simple config
<0> Software is 64-bit, yes.
<1> standalone server...
<1> unless you want load-balanced thing and all
<0> Software communicates to processor/box/thing.
<0> Yes, load balancing is a requirement.
<1> I know how to load-balance
<0> Also tracking of no. tasks performed.
<1> load-balance / failover
<1> Well, I should need to know more about your software and it's abilities
<1> and what you really want/need
<1> load-balancing / failover is one of my big specialities
<1> usually more in unix but it's almost the same with windows
<0> My problem is the current data requirements. A 1 hour film (uncompressed) is 3.22 Tb.
<1> hum
<0> Compressed it gets a lot smaller :).
<1> oh yes this definitly will be a big issue
<1> ok
<0> We are currently internally using a loss-less compression.
<1> how much compressed >
<1> ?
<0> But it still is HUGE.
<1> how much it is ?
<1> in weight
<0> Well, currently codec is very beta, call it 1.5Tb for that 1 hour of footage.
<1> Well, how do you imagine someone uploading something of this size ?
<0> My point...
<1> It's the first issue to solve
<1> or people have to snail-mail to you
<0> Problem is that we could process the footage far faster with our box (***uming it actually works :p) than a standard PC or render-farm.
<0> I would prefer to have a way of streaming it too and from them in some manner.
<1> hum
<1> Well, it's client/server programming
<1> but still
<1> will take ages by streaming
<0> Software will happily do it over the internet.
<0> It's impossibly slow, but it works.
<0> And the server can do the load balancing.
<1> yes, but if the file is so huge, streaming will require a VERY high bandwidth
<0> (That's a pain in the rear).
<0> Yeah...
<1> bah, I don't think it will work this way
<0> Give up?
<1> until a better compression ?
<1> I think so.
<1> I might be wrong as I didn't see the file but....
<0> What kind of compression would you like?
<0> Asin, what would be a managable size?
<1> hum
<1> 1GB would be easily manageable
<1> I mean, people get 600MB disk images everyday form the web
<1> even though it's at download speed (which is higher) I think it is a good size
<0> Okay, I <i>could</i> drop the resolution to single-precision. That would halve the initial file size.
<1> double it if your customers are patient
<0> I doubt the entropic compression we are using will change much.
<1> sounds like it
<1> Wait for gigabit connections
<1> :)
<0> Nothing wil be ready for a couple of years :)
<0> Company will probably go bust in a bit anyway.
<2> is it possible to select java bytecode as the output platform for gcc?
<3> hey
<3> where are you going?
<3> you just got her
<1> Sorry to hurt your feeling snuffyou but i think java ****ing ****s and should be put to dead...
<1> death *
<4> night all :)
<4> *gone*
<5> Hows everyone?
<5> ltns.
<6> hi all
<2> hello
