Disk I/O scheduling techniques for multimedia systems
- Date Issued:
- 1996
- Summary:
- The home computer user represents a significant portion of the multimedia market. To the home user, multimedia is the ability to play, edit and even create movies (video and sound) on his home computer system. While there are many studies that concentrate on large multimedia servers which support hundreds (even thousands) of simultaneous users, there are very few that focus attention on the home computer configuration. This thesis presents the mechanisms for generating, compressing, transmitting and decompressing multimedia data as a framework for the long-term storage and retrieval of multimedia data on disk drives. After developing the framework, the thesis presents an in-depth design and analysis of a disk-based multimedia storage system, proposes a scheduling algorithm for data retrieval (DAN-SCAN) and presents the results of a simulation of the algorithm.
