11/26   Video codec Algorithms Implementors (or anyone): Does the decoding of
        mp3s, avis, etc lend itself well to parallel processors?  Will a
        Quad PII-450 be able to decode just as well as a PIII 800?  Thx.
        \_ It could be parallelized, but it's probably too much trouble
           in practice.
        \_ nobody cares about decoding speeds. It's encoding that's the bitch.
        \_ Yes. I did research for a grad student who got his PhD in this
           field (he was one of the original MPEG1 authors):

           (he used to be in Rowe's research group, BMRC)
        \_ No, because there's NO SUCH THING as a PII-450.

3/29    A friend wants a PC (no mac). She doesn't want Dell. Is there a
        good place that can custom build for you (SSD, large RAM, cheap video
        card--no game)?
        \_ As a side note: back in my Cal days more than two decades ago when
           having a 387SX made me the only person with floating-point hardware,
           most machines were custom built.

In particular, I am focusing on problems associated with high-bandwidth applications th at generate many flows of information with complex inter-flow semantic r elationships.
