Challenging research issues:
  • Design of scalable SMP and MPP VOD architectures
    • Balanced and scalable CPU processing power, internal bandwidth, disk I/O, and network I/O
    • Data allocation procedures and performance impact
    • Multistage buffering schemes
    • Server management: data load, tertiary storage, hot cache
    • Scalability evaluation of SMP and MPP architectures for VOD
    • Criticality of server components performance for scalability and performance of entire system: simulation studies
    • Distribution network architecture and performance issues
    • System integration, cost, and maintenance issues
