Abstract

With the increasing processing speeds, there is a shiftaway from the paradigm of centralized, sequential storage systemstowards distributed and network based storage systems. Further, withthe new imaging and real time multimedia applications, it is becomingmore than ever important to design powerful, efficient and scaleableI/O systems. In this paper, the requirements of storage subsystemsin multimedia environment were presented. The storage systemcomponents relating to those requirements were analyzed. Currentsolutions were surveyed and classified. Then we proposed approachesto improve storage subsystem performance for multimedia. The firstapproach applies constrained layout currently used for single diskmodel to multi-disk system. The second calls for using a strippingunit that meets both media and storage system optimization criteria.The third uses a pool of buffers instead of single buffer per stream.
