Towards Hybrid Cloud-assisted Crowdsourced Live Streaming: Measurement and Analysis
Crowdsourced Live Streaming (CLS), most notably Twitch.tv, has seen explosive
growth in its popularity in the past few years. In such systems, any user can
lively broadcast video content of interest to others, e.g., from a game player
to many online viewers. To fulfill the demands from both massive and
heterogeneous broadcasters and viewers, expensive server clusters have been
deployed to provide video ingesting and transcoding services. Despite the
existence of highly popular channels, a significant portion of the channels is
indeed unpopular. Yet as our measurement shows, these broadcasters are
consuming considerable system resources; in particular, 25% (resp. 30%) of
bandwidth (resp. computation) resources are used by the broadcasters who do not
have any viewers at all. In this paper, we closely examine the challenge of
handling unpopular live-broadcasting channels in CLS systems and present a
comprehensive solution for service partitioning on hybrid cloud. The
trace-driven evaluation shows that our hybrid cloud-assisted design can smartly
assign ingesting and transcoding tasks to the elastic cloud virtual machines,
providing flexible system deployment cost-effectively

Design and Implementation of a FPGA and DSP Based MIMO Radar Imaging System
The work presented in this paper is aimed at the implementation of a real-time multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) imaging radar used for area surveillance. In this radar, the equivalent virtual array method and time-division technique are applied to make 16 virtual elements synthesized from the MIMO antenna array. The chirp signal generater is based on a combination of direct digital synthesizer (DDS) and phase locked loop (PLL). A signal conditioning circuit is used to deal with the coupling effect within the array. The signal processing platform is based on an efficient field programmable gates array (FPGA) and digital signal processor (DSP) pipeline where a robust beamforming imaging algorithm is running on. The radar system was evaluated through a real field experiment. Imaging capability and real-time performance shown in the results demonstrate the practical feasibility of the implementation
