Please help me to critique. Thanks in advance. BTW, is it intuitive to a reader that the numbers show decrease in timing?
120...61...31...16 I heaved a sigh of relief as those timings appear on the computer screen. Our research project to parallelize H.264 Scalable Video Coding encoder proved to be a success. I joined the CenTaD student research in the 11th grade, feeling confident that my mathematical foundation and programming skills would enable me to work on a large project. I applied to a project in collaboration with the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) Institute of High Performance Computing due to my interests in software engineering and algorithms. As the leader of the group, I was responsible in spearheading research directions and maintaining a healthy working relationship with our project mentors. We spent countless of days and nights meeting deadlines and reading through algorithm textbooks and H.264 documentations. In the end, we made it, but more importantly, I learned to work together with people, and finding systematic solutions to problems.
