Operating system support for a video-on-demand file service

This paper describes the design and implementation of a continuous media file server intended for use in emerging video-on-demand applications and shows that a large number of streams can be supported, while maintaining efficient utilization of system resources.

On scalable design of an ATM-based video server

The paper focuses on the design of the stream router as it is used to connect multiple VPUs for producing guaranteed throughput and bounded delay variance for each video stream.

Distributed hierarchical storage manager for a video-on-demand system

The design of a distributed video-on-demand system that is suitable for large video libraries is described. The system is designed to store 1000s of hours of video material on tertiary storage…

A scalable architecture for video-on-demand servers

The paper focuses on the stream router as it is used to connect multiple VPUs and Experimental results show that the proposed stream router can produce guaranteed throughput and bounded delay variance for video applications.

Essential factors for full-interactive VOD server: video file system, disk scheduling, network

A prototypical VOD system is constructed, which includes an interactive network-interface, application protocols and title management, and it is confirmed that these proposals are feasible.

VIOLA: video on local area networks

A Buffered Datagram Layer (BDL) for shielding underlying network dependencies, while providing an efficient background mode of datagram transmissions; a Multicast Reliable Datagram Protocol (MRDP), for carrying multicast video requests reliably from a client to distributed servers; and Video Transport Protocol (VTP), for efficient video block transmissions and receptions are proposed.

Design and implementation of a predictable high-throughput video conference recorder

The design and implementation of a video conference recorder on an inexpensive PC is described, which can simultaneously record several video and audio streams in Unix file format and can have up to 60% performance improvement over the traditional file system.

Multimedia and Image Storage Requirements

This paper analyzes the main problems in building real-time multimedia systems, and discusses under an architectural prospect some technological solutions, especially those regarding determinism and eficient synchronization in the storage, processing, and communication of audio and video data.

Streaming RAID: a disk array management system for video files

This paper describes a video applications server software called StarWorks ™, focusing primarily on its underlying storage management system, which manages an array of Winchester disks and uses a disk access algorithm particularly suitable for video streaming, and is thus referred to as " Streaming RAID ".

Performance Analysis of a Pull-Based Parallel Video Server

The results show that the proposed parallel video server architecture can be linearly scaled up to more concurrent users simply by adding more servers and redistributing the video data among the servers.
