Abstract
We investigate the suitability of clustered architectures for designing scalable multimedia servers. Specifically, we evaluate the effects of: (i) architectural design of the cluster; (ii) the size of the unit of data interleaving; and (iii) read ahead buffering and scheduling on the real time performance guarantees provided by the server. To analyze the effects of these parameters, we develop an analytical model of clustered multimedia servers, and then validate it through extensive simulations, The results of our analysis have formed the basis of our prototype implementation based on an RS/6000 Scalable Parallel (SP) machine. We briefly describe the prototype and discuss some implementation details.
