Optimization of Video Cloud Gaming Using Fast HEVC Video Compression Technique

Abstract

Cloud computing is a model of technology that offers access to system resources with advanced level of services ability. These resources are measured reliable, flexible and affordable for several kinds of applications and users. Gaming manufacturing is one filed that expands the profits of cloud computing as numerous new cloud gaming designs have been presented. Many advantages of cloud gaming have exaggerated the success of gaming based on the improvements on traditional online gaming. Though, cloud gaming grieves from several downsides such as the massive amount of needed video processing and the computational complexity required for that. This paper displays the original system drawbacks and develops a new and original algorithm to speed up the encoding process by reduces the computational complexity by exploiting the block type and location. Enhancements on the video codec led to 12.2% speeding up on the over-all encoding time with slight loss of users’ satisfactions.
