An integrated storage platform for open systems should be able of meeting the requirements of deterministic applications, multimedia systems, and traditional best-effort applications. It should also provide a disk scheduling mechanism fitting all those types of applications. In this paper, we propose a three-level hierarchical disk scheduling scheme, which has three main components: metascheduler, single server scheduler, and disk scheduler. The metascheduler provides scheduling mechanisms for a parallel disk system or a set of parallel servers. The server level is divided in three main queues: deterministic, statistic and best-effort requests. Each server may have its own scheduling algorithm. The lower level, disk driver, chooses the ready streams using its own scheduling criteria. Those systems have been implemented and tested, and the performance evaluations demonstrate that our scheduling architecture is adequate for handling stream sets with different timing and bandwidth requirements.
