Cy. Cheng et al., DISK AND FILE SYSTEM-DESIGN FOR MPEG-2 VIDEO-ON-DEMAND SERVERS, IEEE transactions on consumer electronics, 43(4), 1997, pp. 1220-1228
This paper proposes a disk and file system design scheme that achieves
effective utilization of disk bandwidth for retrieving MPEG-2 program
s in a video-on-demand sewer The scheme is based on a general two-leve
l disk array architecture that exploits bath parallelism and concurren
cy offered by fine-grain and coarse-grain disk array structures. This
paper also presents a design procedure to figure out the optimal disk
system configuration for specific requirements.
