A MULTIMEDIA SERVICE SYSTEM SUPPORTING PARALLEL STREAMS
Fei Wu · 1997
Distributed multimedia, whose aim is to support non local accesses to multimedia information, is a new research domain. Because of the significant differences the characteristics of continuous media data from ones of conventional data, conventional file servers and associated storage systems are not well suitable for non local multimedia applications; instead, new service systems capable of doing so. In the paper, authors introduce a new distributed multimedia parallel service system designed and built. By the concept “system resource order”, the mutual parallel operations of multi access stream are realized. So, the main defects in the design of existing systems are well solved. Additionally, a group of video access streams is simulated in the paper, and the conclusion is that the system is well suitable for continuous media applications.
