  • Design considerations for the symphony integrated multimedia file system
    Multimedia Systems, 2003
    Co-Authors: Prashant Shenoy, Pawan Goyal
    Abstract:

    A multimedia file system supports diverse application classes that access Data with heterogeneous characteristics. In this paper, we describe our experiences in the design and implementation of the Symphony multimedia file system. We first discuss various methodologies for designing multimedia file systems and examine their trade-offs. We examine the design requirements for such file systems and argue that to efficiently manage the heterogeneity in application requirements and Data characteristics, a multimedia file system should enable the coexistence of Multiple Data-Type-specific and application-specific techniques. We describe the architecture and novel features of Symphony and then demonstrate their efficacy through an experimental evaluation. Our results show that Symphony yields a factor of 1.9 improvement in text response time over conventional disk scheduling algorithms while continuing to meet the real-time requirements of video clients. Finally, we reflect upon the lessons learned from the Symphony project.

  • Symphony: An Integrated Multimedia File System
    Multimedia Computing and Networking 1998, 1997
    Co-Authors: Prashant Shenoy, Pawan Goyal, Sriram Rao, Harrick M. Vin
    Abstract:

    An integrated multimediafile system supports the storage and retrieval of Multiple Data Types. In this paper, we first discuss various design methodologies for building integrated file systems and examine their tradeoffs. We argue that, to efficiently support the storage and retrieval of heterogeneous Data Types, an integratedfile system should enable the coexistence of Multiple Data Type specific techniques. We then describe the design of Symphony-an integrated file system that achieves this objective. Some of the novel features of Symphony include: a QoS-aware disk scheduling algorithm; support for Data Type specific placement, failure recovery, and caching policies; and support for assigning Data Type specific structure tofiles. We discuss the protoType implementation of Symphony, and present results of our preliminary experimental evaluation.
