Architecture of a DataBlade Module for the Integrated Management of Multimedia Assets

Advanced multimedia applications require adequate support by database technology for the integrated, uniform management, retrieval, and delivery of media data of different types. While there has been substantial effort to provide database support for multimedia data and for its content-based retrieval, research has mostly focused on support for single media types, usually videos or images. Howe...

A Fibre Channel Based Architecture for Internet Multimedia Server Clusters

ed to the one shown in Figure 5 (a), where the processor block on the left hand of the interconnect corresponds to the AFS server, Storage Node, VFS server, etc, For ease of discussion, in the remaining of the paper, we use a unified term "storage node" to refer to these nodes. The main purpose for a storage node in a cluster is to manage storage devices attached to it and provide data services...

A smart bushfire monitoring and detection system using GSM technology

This paper describes a smart bushfire monitoring system that can provide an early warning message in case of a bushfire. The system utilises short message service through global system for mobile (GSM) communication technology as a medium of communication. The device is composed of a temperature and humidity sensors that are connected to a microcontroller. The microcontroller also interfaces wi...

VMware ESX Server 2 NUMA Support

ESX Server 2 provides memory access optimization for both Intel processors and AMD Opteron processors in server architectures that support NUMA (nonuniform memory access). This white paper provides background on NUMA technologies and a detailed description of the sophisticated NUMA optimizations available in ESX Server 2. The document contains the following sections: • Introduction • What is NU...
