A Multimedia Information Server with Mixed Workload Scheduling
نویسنده
چکیده
In contrast to specialized video servers, advanced multimedia applications for tele-shopping, tele-teaching and news-on-demand exhibit a mixed workload with massive access to conventional, “discrete” data such as text documents, images and indexes as well as requests for “continuous data” such as video. This paper briefly describes the prototype of a multimedia information server that stores discrete and continuous data on a shared disk pool and is able to handle a mixed workload in a very efficient way.

Stochastic Performance Guarantees for Mixed Workloads in a Multimedia Information System
We present an approach to stochastic performance guarantees for multimedia servers with mixed workloads. Advanced multimedia applications such as digital libraries or teleteaching exhibit a mixed workload with accesses to both ’continuous’ and conventional, ’discrete’ data, where the fractions of continuous-data and discrete-data requests vary over time. We assume that a server shares all disks...
متن کاملA Cost-Based Admission Control Algorithm for Handling Mixed Workloads in Multimedia Server Systems
We propose and analyze a cost-based, resourcereservation admission control algorithm for handling mixed workloads in modern multimedia systems such as a digital library multimedia system that must provide access services to heterogeneous objects stored in the library. The cost-based scheme considered in the paper is based on the concept of "rewards" and "penalties" associated with requests of v...
متن کاملA Performance Model of Mixed-Workload Multimedia Information Servers
Advanced multimedia applications such as digital libraries or teleteaching exhibit a mixed workload with accesses to both ”continuous” data (e.g., video) and conventional, ”discrete” data (e.g., text/image documents). As the fractions of continuous-data versus discrete-data requests vary over time, we consider a multimedia storage server with both classes of data spread across all disks for dyn...
متن کاملAdaptive Load Sharing and Scheduling Schemes for Distributed Continuous Media Delivery
The purpose of load sharing is to improve both the performance and readiness of non-interrupted continuous media delivery by redistributing workload among collaborating servers. We proposed and evaluate a few adaptive load sharing policies where simple scheduling schemes are derived. The objectives are: l ) to understand the potential load imbalance problem in distributed multimedia system, 2 )...
متن کاملArchitecture of an I / O Subsystem for Video ServersIgor
This paper proposes a disk array-based Multimedia Storage Server architecture and an allocation policy suitable for multimedia and other kinds of data. By means of simulation we will evaluate the architecture of a mixed system in which the traac is both mul-timedia and non-multimedia. As the results obtained will show, traditional scheduling policies combined with advanced queue management tech...
