Abstract: This paper presents an inexpensive cluster-based QoS networking testbed that can be employed to \emulate" different networks for multimedia communication ex-periments. Such a network can be built using standard PC and Ethernet hardware and open-source software components, e.g., IP routing and traÆc control avail- able in recent Linux kernels as well as a Differentiated Services package built atop these building blocks. The testbed can exibly be configured to model various link bandwidths as well as IP routers capable of classifying, queuing (with various disciplines), forward-ing and/or dropping packets and shaping traÆc. The QoS components and facilities of the testbed are in-troduced and initial performance analysis experiments and results are reported. A simple video streaming application under QoS control is presented to show the usefulness of the testbed.

Abstract: A multi-clip query requests multiple video clips. We address the multi-clip query optimization problem. We propose a new heuristic called restricted search interval that maximizes clip sharing between queries and consequently reduces the workload of the video server. The experimental results show that the suggested heuristics reduce the server workload by about 68.7% in comparison to a classical heuristic approach.

Abstract: This paper compares different selected and representative parallel video servers, including our server SESAME-KB, by the means of their architectural design, striping, scheduling, caching and admission policy. It is shown that these parallel video servers can support a high number of concurrent accesses, but will also reveal missing components, as bottlenecks. Finally we point to further developments

Abstract: The Multimedia Storage and Retrieval System described in this paper is aimed at storing and retrieving medical multimedia data such as images and videos. There are three significant problems that automatically need to be addressed: providing enough capacity to fit Terabytes of MPEG files, efficient extraction of video fragments from MPEG files and quality of service issues. We are working on two different approaches to build MMSRS. The first one, described in this article, utilizes commercial HSM software for managing the tertiary storage hardware. The second approach that we have started to investigate is an attempt to build a specialised storage management system from scratch.

[bib] [pdf] [abstract]
Abstract: This paper describes an unconventional way to apply a performance analysis tool for parallel programs (Vampir) to understand and tune the performance of the real-time voice and data communication software running on top of Frequentis’ V4 switch. The execution schedule of the strictly time-triggered V4 switching software is computed off-line; analyzing the schedule to identify e.g. performance bottlenecks used to be a complex and time-consuming process. We present our approach to transform the V4 software schedule’s information into Vampir trace files and use this tool’s facilities to provide a visualization of the schedule. A case study illustrates the benefits of this approach.

Abstract: The Virtual Interface (VI) Architecture standard was developed to satisfy the need for a high-throughput, low-latency communication system required for cluster computing. This paper presents the results of a performance study of one VI Architecture hardware implementation, the Giganet cLAN (Cluster LAN). The focus of the study is to assess and compare the performance of different VI Architecture data transfer modes and specific features that are available to higher-level communication software like MPI, in order to aid the implementor to decide which VI Architecture options to employ for various communication scenarios. Examples of such options include the use of send/receive vs. RDMA data transfers, polling vs. blocking to check completion of communication operations, multiple VIs, completion queues, and scatter capabilities of VI Architecture.

Abstract: The Workflow Management System AltaVista Works has been extended to be able to process workflows in a distributed, partly even parallel manner. Build-time data are replicated over all participating workflow servers. The distribution of workflow execution is based on migration. Instead of the usual static re-partitioning, a highly dynamic management of distribution is applied.

Abstract: Diverging demands on computer networks, such as high bandwidth, guaranteed quality of service and low latency lead to growing heterogeneity. IEEE1394-1995 is a standardized low-cost highperformance serial-bus-system with both isochronous and asynchronous operation. It might be an interesting candidate for all-round local and system area networks, providing a good compromise in fulfilling the above demands for low costs. Beside providing some technical background we show the possibilities and advantages of building parallel clusters on top of IEEE1394-1995. The main advantage is that minimal speed-up can be guaranteed, as shown on the basis of the parallel implementation of discrete Fourier transformation.

Abstract: A method for evaluating several aspects of the performance of object oriented middleware is introduced. Latency, data transfer, parameter marshalling and scalability are considered. A portable benchmark toolkit has been developed to implement the method. A number of actual middleware products have been measured, such as C++ and Java based CORBA implementations, DCOM and Java/RMI. The measurements are evaluated and related to each other.
