Server Scheduling Scheme for Asynchronous Cluster Video Server
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we propose an asynchronous cluster video server architecture, which is quite different from synchronous video server architecture in various aspects such as striping policy, placement policy, and server scheduling algorithm. This architecture has the benefits that the system scales unlimitedly with the number of disks and videos. We discuss the main design issues and compute the buffer requirement at both client side and server side, scheduling delay, and prefill delay. The result is exciting compared with synchronous server scheduling algorithm. It requires fewer client buffers and server buffers, consumes less system response time and can be scalable. To improve system performance, group sweeping scheduling (GSS) is applied.

Concurrent push-A scheduling algorithm for push-based parallel video servers
Most existing commercial video servers are designed for a single server. Consequently, the capacity of the system in terms of maximum sustainable concurrent sessions is limited by the performance of the video server hardware. This paper proposes and analyzes the performance of a novel parallel video server architecture where video data are striped across an array of autonomous servers. The arch...

With the rapid performance improvements in low-cost PCs, it becomes increasingly practical and cost-effective to implement large-scale video-on-demand (VoD) systems around parallel PC servers. This paper proposes a novel parallel video server architecture where video data are striped across an array of autonomous servers connected by an interconnection network. To coordinate data transmissions ...
متن کاملThe E ect of Disk Scheduling Schemes on a Video Server forSupporting Quality MPEG Video
A Video-On-Demand (VOD) server provides video delivery service to clients by supporting multiple concurrent accesses and maintaining a continuous (i.e., jitter-free) video playback. The diiculty of providing VOD with a guaranteed quality of service is primarily due to the variation in access latencies over the delivery path, from storage subsystem to network subsystem. In addition, with the bit...
متن کاملHHMSM: a hierarchical hybrid multicast stream merging scheme for large-scale video-on-demand systems
The key performance bottleneck for large-scale video-on-demand (VoD) systems is the server bandwidth, which controls the number of clients a video server can support. Two existing stream scheduling schemes can save server bandwidth significantly by using multicast method to transmit video data: the batching scheme and the patching scheme. However, the batching scheme results in long start-up la...
متن کاملNeighbor Replica Distribution Technique for Cluster Server Systems
Data replication increases the reliability and availability of a web server cluster. However, different data replication techniques have different reliability levels. In this paper, Neighbor Replica Distribution Technique (NRDT) has been proposed to improve the reliability of a web cluster server. This technique provides high reliability by imposing a neighbor logical structure on data copies. ...
