Abstract: An apparatus comprising a method for allocating shared processing resources, comprising the steps of (A) predicting a first amount of processing resources needed to complete each of a plurality of transcoding jobs in a work queue of a project, (B) determining a second amount of processing resources available prior to processing the project and (C) adding processing resources needed to complete the project. The processing resources are added in a fixed number of predetermined processing units. The fixed number of computer resources are added (a) to minimize an overall use of said processing resources needed to complete the project and (b) to complete the project within a target time.

Abstract: An encoding system that distributes a live stream to end user devices is provided herein. The encoding system automatically detects failed components and implements a failover action to replace the failed component with a backup component in a manner that reduces live stream interruptions. For example, the encoding system can include a network interface that is coupled to an encoder allocated to a live stream. Instead of providing a contribution encoder that transmits the live stream with a location of the allocated encoder, the encoding system can provide the contribution encoder with a location of the network interface. Thus, the contribution encoder can transmit the live stream to the network interface. The network interface can then forward the live stream to the allocated encoder. If the allocated encoder fails, then the network interface can forward the live stream to a backup encoder.
