* Overview
---------------
The export_pvm module is based on PVM3 library (Parallel Virtual Machine http://www.epm.ornl.gov/pvm/pvm_home.html) and enable the output codec of transcode to process the request in a distributed processing environments constructed on heterogeneous machines and architectures.
The idea is to split the codec work on different machine using a front end (tcpvmexportd) that load the request module (e.g. export_mpeg2enc.so): each new instances receive from export_pvm a subset of frame and create a portion of the final video file. When all the slave process on host 1,2..n are running (see the schema below) the main task on host 0 (transcode) is waiting for a free task: at the end, when all the video frame are decoded, an others slave processes (merger on host x,y,z) merge all produced file.
For instance only this export module are supported:
Video:
null (built in)
mpeg2enc
mpeg
divx5
ffmpeg
xvid
Audio:
null (built in)
mp2enc
mpeg
divx5
ffmpeg
xvid
Support for multipass (standard and built in)

where
Section [PvmHostCapability] define the cluster environment
NumProcMaxForHost max number of process for each host in cluster (this parameter override NumProcMax in subsection (Host)). default 1
MaxProcForCluster max number of process for the cluster: if NumProcMaxForHost * number of host in cluster is > of MaxProcForCluster then MaxProcForCluster is used (this parameter override MaxProcForCluster in subsection (Host)). default 10
NumElabFrameForTask number of frame for each running slave task. default 100
InternalMultipass if set to 1 internal multipass is used (multipass in one pass). default 0
Subsection (Host)
Hostname the name of the host to use in cluster (not yet implemented in v 0.0.1). default localhost
NumProcMax max number of process (not yet implemented in v 0.0.1). default 1
Section [AudioMerger] define parameter for the audio merger task
Hostname the name of the host to use in cluster. default localhost
BuildOnlyBatchMergeList create only the build list to merge and remove the temporary file and rebuild the final audio file later (using tcpvmexportd -j -m -f file.cfg). If [SystemMerger] exists then this value is set to 1 by the export_pvm module. default 1 (yes)
Section [VideoMerger] define parameter for the video merger task
Hostname the name of the host to use in cluster. default localhost
BuildOnlyBatchMergeList create only the build list to merge and remove the temporary file and rebuild the final video file later (using tcpvmexportd -j -m -f file.cfg). If [SystemMerger] exists then this value is set to 1 by the export_pvm module. default 1 (yes)
Section [SystemMerger] define parameter for the system merger task
Hostname the name of the host to use in cluster. default localhost
BuildOnlyBatchMergeList create only the build list to merge and remove the temporary file and rebuild the final system file later (using tcpvmexportd -j -m -f file.cfg). default 1 (yes)
Value:
0 create directly the system file
1 create only the merge file list
2 create the intermediate system files (with a progressive numeber)
MultiplexParams the parameters to pass to multiplex program (mplex,tcmplex,avimerge): default none. (e.g. for mplex MultiplexParams="-f 8")
Section [ExportVideoModule] define parameter for export codec
Codec The name of the codec (e.g. mpeg2enc,null,mpeg)
Param1 1st codec parameter
Param2 2nd codec parameter
Param3 3th codec parameter
Section [ExportAudioModule] define parameter for export codec
Codec The name of the codec (e.g. mp2enc,null,mpeg)

Param2 2nd codec parameter
Param3 3th codec parameter
Warning
the subsection (Host) isn't yet implemented in v 0.0.1
If BuildOnlyBatchMergeList parameter is set to 1 then export_pvm create some files list like this:
---------- audio list file ---------------------------------------

---------------
* Requirements
---------------
export_pvm require pvm3 (3.4) library to be compiled.
To enable the module run configure with these parameters:
(for redhat 9)
./configure --with-pvm3 --with-pvm3-include=/usr/share/pvm3/include --with-pvm3-lib=/usr/share/pvm3/lib/LINUXI386
(for debian)
./configure --with-pvm3
---------------
* Examples
---------------
This is a quick and dirty how to set up the pvm cluster with two machine (host A and B)
PVM need to exchange information between hosts (using remote shell or ssh)
1) put the entries below in .bashrc for user xyzt (host A and host B)
(for redhat 9)
export PVM_ROOT=/usr/share/pvm3 #PVM root
export PVM_PATH=/home/mmalanc/local/bin #where you install transcode binary
export PVM_WD=/home/mmalanc/local/bin #where you install transcode binary
export PVM_RSH=/usr/bin/ssh #use ssh instead rsh
(for debian)
export PVM_ROOT=/usr/lib/pvm3 #PVM root
export PVM_PATH=/home/mmalanc/local/bin #where you install transcode binary
export PVM_WD=/home/mmalanc/local/bin #where you install transcode binary
export PVM_RSH=/usr/bin/ssh #use ssh instead rsh
2) on each host create a ssh key
ssh-keygen -t rsa
3) copy the public key
eval `ssh-agent`
ssh-add # your passphrase
scp -p $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub hostB:$HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys
scp -p hostB:$HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys # now no password is required
4) test if ssh is work (without password)
from hostA ssh hostB (no password is required)
from hostB eval `ssh-agent`
ssh-add # your passphrase
ssh hostA (no password is required)
5) goto the host that have the input video files (e.g. hostA) and run as root and share volume
(for redhat 9)
hostA
/etc/init.d/nfs start #start NFS server
exportfs -i -o rw hostB:/my_multimedia_repository
hostB
mkdir /my_multimedia_repository
mount -t nfs hostB:/my_multimedia_repository /my_multimedia_repository
6) as normal user (xyzt) on hostA run
pvm
pvm> add hostA
add hostA
1 successful
HOST DTID
hostA 80000
pvm> conf
conf
2 hosts, 1 data format
HOST DTID ARCH SPEED DSIG
hostA 40000 LINUXI386 1000 0x00408841
hostB 80000 LINUXI386 1000 0x00408841
pvm> quit
quit
Console: exit handler called
pvmd still running.
Now the cluster has two hosts configured.
7) create the config file
---------- sample of config file (see doc dir) ---------------------------------------
[PvmHostCapability]
NumProcMaxForHost = 1 #best 1 for each cpu
MaxProcForCluster = 10
NumElabFrameForTask = 100
[AudioMerger]
Hostname=hostA
BuildOnlyBatchMergeList=1
[VideoMerger]
Hostname=hostA
BuildOnlyBatchMergeList=1
[SystemMerger]
Hostname=hostA
BuildOnlyBatchMergeList=1
MultiplexParams="-f 8"
[ExportVideoModule]
Codec=mpeg2enc
Param1=d
Param2=
Param3=
[ExportAudioModule]
Codec=mp2enc
Param1=
Param2=
Param3=
---------- end config file ---------------------------------------
8) run transcode
transcode -i /video/BeccaGiasson/Becca-Giasson-001.avi -y pvm -F /tmp/pvm.cfg -o /dati/multimedia/VOB/Becca-Giasson --progress_off
at the end the output will be something like this

9.2) If you plan to join audio and video then run the command
tcpvmexportd -m -j -f /dati/multimedia/VOB/Becca-Giasson-system.lst
(if you multiplex the two file produced with 9.1 (Becca-Giasson.m2v Becca-Giasson.mpa) you'll have a mpeg system file with A/V out of sync)
(with BuildOnlyBatchMergeList=0 in the pvm.cfg file the step 8 produce the final file directly)

* Tips
---------------
1) If you have a single machine with a single CPU don't use the export_pvm (it produce the same file in about 1.2-1.3 time then normal export module)
2) If you have machine with a single CPU set NumProcMaxForHost to 1 max 2 and set MaxProcForCluster to number of host * NumProcMaxForHost + 1
3) Set 1-2 process for each CPU
4) If the decode process never wait for a free task then you probably found the right configuration (add more slave host is useless: you need to speed up the decode process).
5) If you plan to have a system file don't multiplex the merged audio and video, but run the built in system merge process (this remove an A/V sync problem).
6) If you plan to create a DVD with dvdauthor then set BuildOnlyBatchMergeList=2 in the [SystemMerger] section and pass to dvdauthor the system files generated (force BuildOnlyIntermediateFile=1 in the [SystemList] section). (with dvdauthor alpha 338 use this command dvdauthor -o mydir -c 0:00,x:yz mympeg.mpeg-000000 -c c 0:00,x:yz mympeg.mpeg-000001 ........ where x:yz is the value set in NumElabFrameForTask (e.g. NumElabFrameForTask=99 and PAL x:yz=3:24))
7) If you enable the multipass option (-R 1,2) the video and audio log will be created in the output directory (option -o and -m).
8) If you plan to create an avi with multipass, you can use the internal multipass (it takes less time then standard multipass option (set InternalMultipass=1))
9) If you specify InternalMultipass=1 in cfg file and -R (1,2,3) in cmd line, -R option will be used.

- added support for ffmpeg,divx4,divx5,af6,xvid,xvid2 encode module.
- added multipass and internal multipass support.
- enable pvm3 by default.
- bugfix.
2003-08-21 * docs/export_pvm.txt export/export_pvm.c pvm3/external_codec.c pvm3/tcpvmexportd.c
- added support for mpeg encode.
2003-08-20 * docs/export_pvm.txt docs/man/tcpvmexportd.1 docs/pvm.cfg export/export_pvm.c pvm3/export_pvm_slave.c pvm3/export_pvm_slave.h pvm3/pvm_parser.c pvm3/pvm_parser.h pvm3/pvm_version.h pvm3/tcpvmexportd.c
- added BuildOnlyBatchMergeList=2 in [SystemMerger] section to build only the intermediate system files and BuildOnlyIntermediateFile in [SystemList] section (dvdauthor don't like a merged file).
2003-08-12 * first release of export_pvm
---------------
* To do
---------------
- add a really support for A/V multithread option (-u) (for instance is set to 1).
- create a resource manager
- retrieve encoded frame without nfs
- balancing weight based
- extension to other codec
- remove the nfs dependency
- more....
