Processing 4K RAW Digital Cinema Images in Real Time via the Power of Cluster Computing and Parallel Processing


"You are not like Cerberus, three gentlemen at once, are you?"

  • Richard Brinsley Sheridan: Act IV, sc. ii.

Cerberus

This document will outline basic and advanced concepts as they stand currently, as well as technology, budget and intellectual property components that will be contained and exhibited by the finished product. Inherent to the goals of this project, it is a paramount goal to generate a system to benefit the motion picture industry on a global scale, as well as RIT's School of Film Animation free of prohibitive technology limits and prohibitive licensing restrictions.

This paper serves as the comprehensive, final document to be typeset and presented upon completion of the thesis project and engineering of the Cerberus cluster in the Spring of 2015
