On the basis of the developed model, we derive the maximal required buffer of a multi-rate CM server with different disk scheduling policies. Based on the observations from some experiments, we learn that not only the data retrieval timing for each stream but also the retrieval sequence of the streams has led to surprising impacts on the maximal buffer requirement of a multi-rate CM server. Therefore, we elaborate a novel disk scheduling scheme to obtain a better retrieval sequence, which can reduce the memory requirement of a multi-rate CM server by using memory sharing. According to the simulation results, the proposed method can reduce the memory buffer by up to 36% of that of the conventional non-sharing scheme, and about 15% of that of the worst case of the conventional buffer-sharing scheme.","PeriodicalId":393861,"journal":{"name":"ISCE '97.

Despite of the general belief that TCP/IP is not suitable for real-time multimedia applications, after testing in a laboratory environment for one year, we are confident in announcing that our prototype is both efficient and reliable. This success depends on several important factors. First of all, the system operates on a dedicated network in which there exists no other traffic except a small amount of background traffic generated by the Ether Switch, the major network component used by our prototype. Second, the system overhead due to the VOD server and the network adaptor card is minimized. Third, we maximize the disk bandwidth by implementing a proprietary disk file system. Our experiment shows that it requires only about 330 KBytes at the client buffer to smooth packet delay jitters.","PeriodicalId":393861,"journal":{"name":"ISCE '97.

Optimization methods are proposed in order to reduce the total cycle time consumed in real-time implementation. The multi-pulse maximum likelihood quantization (MP-MLQ) excitation search block which is the most computation-intensive block in the coder is restructured to reduce the algorithmic redundancy. In addition, efficient filtering methods and memory management are utilized for further optimization. The bit-exact verification with the ITU test vectors and performance evaluation aspects are also discussed in this paper.","PeriodicalId":393861,"journal":{"name":"ISCE '97.

We developed an instantaneous sub-picture decoder architecture for the DVD system to reduce the data transfer traffic on the global bus. Using two different FIFOs and a simple state machine controller, the registers in which the contents of commands are stored can be significantly reduced. For continuous display, an easy synchronization is used in the instantaneous sub-picture decoder by comparing to the video presentation time (PTM).","PeriodicalId":393861,"journal":{"name":"ISCE '97.
