Disk and File System Design for MPEG-2 Video-On-Demand Servers
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes a disk and file system design scheme that achieves effective utilization of disk bandwidth for retrieving MPEG-2 programs in a video-on-demand server. The scheme is based on a general two-level disk array architecture that exploits both parallelism and concurrency offered by fine-grain and coarse-grain disk array structures. This paper also presents a design procedure to figure out the optimal disk system configuration for specific requirements.

متن کاملVideo-server retrieval scheduling and resource reservation for variable bit rate scalable video
State of the art digital video compression produces bursty, variable bit rate video. The bursty nature of compressed video raises challenges in the design of video servers. In this paper, we first present a method for the efficient retrieval of bursty video data from the disk system to the memory of a digital video server. For a single video stream, the proposed retrieval schedule minimizes the...
