Abstract

Maximizing CM data throughput has been the main performance objective of disk scheduling in CM and VOD servers. However, with the proliferation of hypermedia databases and digital libraries, these servers need to support a considerable amount of non-CM, or discrete media (DM) [12], data accesses which arrive as sporadic data requests [1, 26, 34, 35]. These include text, graphics, image and other user-interaction scripts that can be small in size, bursty but less stringent in time constraints (loose deadlines). A CM server which also supports a high throughput of DM data that are loosely time-tied to CM data will hereafter be referred to as an Interactive multimedia-On-Demand (IMOD) server.
