Owl: a new multimedia data splitting scheme for cluster video server
Hai Jin, Xiaofei Liao · 2002
In cluster video servers, one of the important issues is how to store multimedia data on many storage nodes. This issue includes two topics: the scheme of splitting an entire file into many clips, and the storage of these clips on many nodes. Our work focuses on the first issue and proposes a new multimedia file splitting scheme. This scheme has universality for almost every media format and makes cluster video servers work efficiently. Besides, the scheme is feasible and easy to implement.
