MEDIA PROCESSOR AND RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLATFORM

摘要

Embodiments are directed to providing an extensible platform that allows users to select from and implement different types of media processors and to providing a management portal that allows users to manage their media processors. In one scenario, a computer system receives from a user a workflow with various tasks that are to be processed using a user-specified media processor. The computer system schedules computer system resources including a virtual machine on which the user-specified media processor is to be installed. The user-specified media processor includes a corresponding media processor installer. The computer system instantiates the scheduled virtual machine on the computer system, initiates the media processor installer to install the user-specified media processor on the instantiated virtual machine, and implements the installed media processor on the instantiated virtual machine to process the workflow tasks.

主权项

1. A computer system comprising the following:
one or more processors; system memory; one or more computer-readable storage media having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the computing system to perform a method for providing an extensible platform that allows users to select from and implement different types of media processors, the method comprising the following:
an act of receiving from a user a workflow with one or more tasks that implement a user-specified media processor to process the one or more tasks;an act of scheduling one or more computer system resources including at least one virtual machine on which the user-specified media processor is to be installed, the user-specified media processor including a corresponding media processor installer;an act of instantiating the scheduled virtual machine on the computer system;an act of initiating the media processor installer to install the user-specified media processor on the instantiated virtual machine;an act of implementing the installed media processor on the instantiated virtual machine to process the one or more workflow tasks.
