Improving Latency in an Interactive Video Server

چکیده
In this paper, we will address the problem of designing an interactive video server employing multiprocessors. An interactive video server needs to provide quick response to user’s requests. When the video stream is a sequence of short video clips and if the order in which these clips are played out is determined by the user, the video clips need to be started up fairly quickly to give an impression of seamless or near-seamless delivery. We will address this problem of providing quick turnaround response to user’s requests while guaranteeing smooth play out of already scheduled streams.

متن کاملImproving Video Performance in VNC Under Latency Conditions
Virtual Network Computing, or VNC, is a popular thin client application used to access files and applications on remote computers. However, VNC can suffer from significant losses in throughput when there is high latency between the client and server. These losses become especially apparent in the case of video, where updates are both large and frequent. In this work, we present a Message Accele...
متن کاملRelevance of a Toll-Free Call Service Using an Interactive Voice Server to Strengthen Health System Governance and Responsiveness in Burkina Faso
Background In Africa, health systems are poorly accessible, inequitable, and unresponsive. People rarely have either the confidence or the opportunity to express their opinions. In Burkina Faso, there is a political will to improve governance and responsiveness to create a more relevant and equitable health system. Given their development in Africa, information and communication technolog...
متن کاملOn Minimizing Startup Latency in Scalable Continuous Media Servers
In a scalable server that supports the retrieval and display of continuous media audio and video clips both the number of simultaneous displays and the expected startup latency of a dis play increases as a function of additional disk bandwidth This paper describes object replication and request migration as two alternative techniques to minimize startup latency In addition to developing analyti...
متن کاملAn experimental estimation of latency sensitivity in multiplayer Quake 3
Quantifying the latency sensitivity of potential customers/players is critical for Internet-based game providers when planning the network placement of their game servers. In early 2001 we placed two Quake 3 servers at different locations on the Internet, and instrumented them to gather median latency information on every player who played over a multimonth period. Comparison of server logfiles...
