Speaker: Paul Wayper
Abstract: Parallelising veyepar - getting the conference videos
processed.
The process of taking the raw video files and
transcoding them into usable video is done by
veyepar.Unfortunately, the promises I'd been given about
how it could be distributed to multiple render machines
turned out to be more wishful thinking than actual
deployed code.So what does one do?Write code, obviously!
In this talk I'll show how I made veyepar's rendering
system into something that could be scaled across
multiple machines.In the process I'll talk about some of
the traps of parallelising even seemingly "trivially
parallel" code, and ways in which the system could be
improved.
