Hadoop is a popular open-source implementation of MapReduce for the analysis of large
datasets. To manage storage resources across the cluster, Hadoop uses a distributed user …

In this paper, we look at the problem of disk scheduling in a multimedia I/O system. In a
multimedia server, the disk requests may have constant data rate requirements and need …

Prevalent Markovian and semi Markovian methods to predict the reliability and performance
of component based heterogeneous systems suffer from several limitations: they are subject …

Karchmer, Raz, and Wigderson (1995) discuss the circuit depth complexity of n-bit Boolean
functions constructed by composing up to d= log n/log log n levels of k= log n-bit Boolean …

This article provides a retrospective of our original paper by the same title in the
Proceedings of the First ACM Conference on Multimedia, published in 1993. This article …

The last several years have seen a rapid increase in smart phone use. Android offers an
open-source software platform on smart phones, that includes a Linux-based kernel, Java …

Earliest-deadline-first (EDF) is good for scheduling real-time tasks in order to meet timing
constraint. However, it is not good enough for scheduling real-time disk tasks to achieve …

Real-timedisk scheduling (RTDS) is important for time-critical multimediaapplications. In
conventional approaches of real-time disk scheduling, such as SCAN-EDF, the seek …

A multimedia server requires a real-time disk-scheduling algorithm to deliver isochronous
data for real-time streams. Traditional disk-scheduling algorithms focus on providing good …

Former research on automatic exploration of ASIP architectures mostly focused on either the
internal memory hierarchy, or the addition of complex custom operations to RISC based …
