Abstract

High-performance parallel computers with 2-D mesh topologies are beginning to be used as Video-On-Demand (VOD) servers. Video data stored on disks at the servers need to be gathered and sent to clients in a timely manner. This paper studies the various issues involved in the efficient transfer of video data from the disks to the nodes of a video server comprising of a high-performance computer with a 2-dimensional mesh topology. Simulation results of link congestion and transfer time, under various conditions such as different mesh sizes, different number of disks, various routing schemes, and several disk-to-node assignments are presented.
