Project abstract
OpenMediaPlatform (OMP) aims to define an open service infrastructure for media-rich end-user devices that will address software productivity and optimal service delivery challenges.
OMP innovatively combines two main streams of modern software engineering:
The OMP approach will be demonstrated using scalable video coding on two different platforms.
OMP innovatively combines two main streams of modern software engineering:
- split compilation techniques that leverage component based SW engineering and provide binary portability (CLI standard) with no performance penalty;
- standardized and open application programmers’ interfaces (API) for advanced multimedia stacks that support resource management and context awareness at component level.
The OMP approach will be demonstrated using scalable video coding on two different platforms.
Project results
The expected results include:
- an open-source GNU-based static compiler for the generation of processor-independent CLI binaries with additional metadata for deployment-time component optimization
- a CLI dynamic compiler and runtime system exploiting component-specific metadata,
- a resource-aware system specification and design tool and
- a set of improved standard API’s for multimedia components and a reference opensource project.
