The only "parallelizable" task I see would be encoding the MPEG. But of course, you'd have to be able to plugin to whatever software you are using, and I'm assuming it's not hardware encoded.

Hi,

I'm new to OSCAR and to clustering in general. I have a question about an
application I want to run, but I don't know if a cluster software could help
to do the job.
In fact it's more to get into clustering and to play with it that I'm here
(in fact I guess a big new machine would do the job efficiently) than an
absolute need of cluster for this application.

I'd like to do motion detection using 4 cameras connected to an AXIS 2400
Camera server (http://www.axis.com/products/camera_servers/videoserver.htm).
I already do this on 2 cameras using motion (http://motion.sourceforge.net/)
on a linux box, but my two motion processes consume about half a CPU each
(yes it may be configured in order to use less, but I want to keep my
confiugration as it's now) and the 2 new cameras which are coming make me
think about an alternative solution thant buy a additionnal CPU and disks to
store MPEGS.

My question is: Is it useful to have a linux cluster (e.g. with minimum 2 *
Intel PIII machines) running these motion processes ? Do you think this
might be interesting to do ? Is it a good use of cluster ?

thank you in advance,

Bastien.
