Disclosed herein is a method and system for optimizing video content acquisition and delivery during events. In an embodiment, an optimal video content for transmission is selected by analyzing plurality of videos of a live event captured by one or more video capturing units. Further, optimal video content is transmitted to a Media Processing Center (MPC) using a predefined unicast network. Furthermore, the optimal video content is processed into one or more predefined streaming formats corresponding to one or more streaming channels of a hybrid transmission service. Subsequently, an optimal delivery channel for each of a plurality of users is selected by analyzing a plurality of user parameters associated with the plurality of users and a plurality of sociological parameters associated with the live event. Finally, the optimal video content is transmitted to the plurality of users through the optimal delivery channel selected for each of the plurality of users.

Disclosed herein is method and system for prioritizing content for content processing by Multichannel Video Programming Distributors (MVPD). The system upon receiving multimedia content, determines premium quality vector for multimedia content. Further, system segments multimedia content into one or more segments and determines a complexity vector and social media vector for each segment. The complexity vector is identified based on scene transitions and complexity of scene in the segment. The social media vector is identified based on trend, popularity and viral nature of segment. The system assigns weightage to each segment using a machine learning model based on complexity vector, social media vector and premium quality vector. Based on weightage, system prioritizes segments for content processing. In this manner, present disclosure prioritizes content which needs to be first processed to reduce overall content processing time.

A method, system, and compute program product use a generalized macro or a generalized macro timing abstract for timing analysis in a specific timing context. The method includes setting up a timer, and determining a divide ratio of each external clock divider of one or more external clock dividers associated with the generalized macro or the generalized macro timing abstract programmatically as a function of another value. The method also includes performing the timing analysis using the divide ratios of the one or more external clock dividers. Obtaining a physical implementation of an integrated circuit is based on the timing analysis.

Programmable clock division methodology with in-context frequency checking

A system and method to generate a clock domain-independent abstract of a component in an integrated circuit design. The method includes performing an initial analysis of the component using an initial clock value for each clock domain type, the clock domain types including a functional clock and a test clock, executing an abstractor to obtain a reduced order model of the initial analysis as a clock domain-dependent abstract, and obtaining original constraints associated with one or more circuit elements within the component from the clock domain-dependent abstract. Generating generalized constraints is based on clock domain-dependent constraints among the original constraints, and generating the clock domain-independent abstract is based on the generalized constraints. The method also includes obtaining a physical implementation based on one or more analyses using the clock domain-independent abstract.

Clock domain-independent abstracts

A method, system and computer program product perform timing analysis of an integrated circuit design with callback-based constraint processing for clock domain independence. A timing graph representation of the integrated circuit design includes nodes interconnected by edges. Loading timing abstracts representing the nodes of the timing graph precedes obtaining a timing result based on propagating timing values and associated timing tags from an input to an output of the integrated circuit design and processing timing constraints at one or more of the nodes as callbacks. Each timing tag indicates a clock domain. After applying a design change, one or more modified timing tags that are added or changed as a result of the design change are determined. The timing constraints associated with the modified timing tags are processed as callbacks, and the timing result are re-computed.

An exemplary method includes detecting a request to launch an application on a device, accessing metadata associated with the application over a network, using the metadata to determine whether sufficient resources are available to launch the application on the device, and performing at least one action based on said determination. The at least one action may include launching the application on the device when sufficient resources are available or blocking a launch of the application on the device when sufficient resources are not available. In certain embodiments, the method is performed by the device. In certain embodiments, the device includes a set-top box configured to access a media service over the network. Corresponding methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
