Disk Partitioning Technique for Reducing Multimedia Access Delay

چکیده
With the introduction of future multimedia services such as HDTV, digital systems able to store and retrieve a huge amount of video and audio information will play an important role. One of the key problems is the multimedia data access optimization. In this paper we compare several techniques proposed for storage of multimedia information on the hard disk and introduce a Disk Partitioning Technique allowing an increase in the number of concurrent users while minimizing the required buffer size. Also the support for interactive control such as pause or reverse is demonstrated.

Zoned-partitioning of tree-like access methods
The performance of access methods and the underlying disk system is a significant factor in determining the performance of database applications, especially with large sets of data. While modern hard disks are manufactured with multiple physical zones, where seek times and data transfer rates vary significantly across the zones, there has been little consideration of this important disk charact...
متن کاملReducing Initial Latency in Multimedia Storage Systems
A multimedia server delivers presentations (such as videos, movies, games), providing high bandwidth and continuous real-time delivery. In this paper we present techniques for reducing the initial latency of presentations, that is, for reducing the time between the arrival of a request and the start of the presentation. Traditionally, initial latency has not received much attention. This is bec...

Multimedia data poses challenges for efficient storage and retrieval due to its large size and playback timing requirements. For applicat;ions that store very large volumes of multimedia data, hierarchical storage offers a scalable and economical alternative to store data on magnetic disks. In a hierarchical storage architecture data is stored on a tupe or optical disk based tertiary storage la...
متن کاملCost-Driven Evaluation of Vertical Class Partitioning in Object-Oriented Databases
Vertical partitioning is a proven database design technique which increases the eflciency of query execution by reducing the irrelevant data accesses. In this paper, we develop a cost model to study the effectiveness of vertical partitioning in OODBs, in terms of reducing the number of disk accesses for executing a set of queries. Further, we compare and evaluate two different (namely, afinity-...
