Abstract
Rate-constrained motion estimation (RCME) is considered to be the most time-consuming process of H.265/HEVC encoding. Massively parallel architectures, such as graphics processing units (GPUs), used in combination with a multi-core central processing unit (CPU), provide a promising computing platform to achieve fast encoding. However, the inherent dependencies in the process for deriving motion vector predictors (MVPs) prevent the parallelization of prediction units (PUs) processing. In this paper, we present a framework for performing a two-stage parallel RCME, in which the RCME of all the PUs of a frame can be calculated in parallel. A novel method is introduced to overcome the dependencies inherent to the derivation of MVPs. Multiple temporal predictors (MTPs) within the two-stage parallel RCME framework provide fine-grained parallelism encoding without significant BD-Rate penalty, compared to serial encoding. Experimental results show that our proposed approach achieves a BD-Rate improvement of over 1% as compared to state-of-the-art parallel methods providing similar time reductions.
