The results presented in Table 1 show that XTREAM provides QoS for disk IO while not significantly under utilizing the system. 4. RELATED WORK Multimedia file system efforts in recent years include [5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]. Of these, the industry initiatives usually do not disclose their implementations. To the best of our knowledge, unlike XTREAM, existing admission controllers for streaming multimedia systems do not use disk modeling based on low level disk profiling. 5. CONCLUSION High performance in XTREAM is ....

The approach of retrieving VBR streams using constant rates, popular with lower bit rate streaming applications, might not solve the general problem either due to arbitrarily large playback initiation latency or client buffer space that it can require with higher quality streams [20, 23] We ....

....(strides) that are sequentially allocated on the disk surfaces. Strides are chosen larger than the maximum stream request size per disk during a round. This size is known in advance for stored streams. Stride based allocation has a number of advantages over schemes that are used in other systems [5, 16, 24]. It sets an upper bound on the estimated disk access overhead, since at most two partial stride accesses will be required to serve the request of a stream on each disk in a round. It eliminates external fragmentation, while keeping internal fragmentation negligible because of the large size of ....

This means that with this type of scheduling, one does not need to wait a full round before a task can be serviced again and is therefore more flexible. Also, the use of a deadline dynamic disk scheduler is not new. The Symphony file system [20] is a mixedmedia file system that is capable of storing continuous media and best effort data on the same set of disks.

....the performance experiments was to compare the latency for best effort requests when a mixed media load is scheduled by three different deadline dynamic real time disk schedulers. We compared our L scheduler to a scheduler that is loosely based on the Symphony disk scheduler (the LST scheduler) [20, 21], 6 and an EDF scheduler that does not prioritize best effort I O requests. The LST scheduler calculates a latest start time for a released request and schedules a best effort request before a real time request if it finishes at or before the real time request. We expected that using the LST ....
