  abstract = {This paper discusses the architectural requirements of a
  multimedia-on-demand system, with special emphasis on the media server.
  Although high-performance computers are the best choice for building
  media-on-demand servers, implementation poses many difficulties. We conclude
  with a discussion of the open issues regarding the design and implementation
  of the server.},
  comment = {A survery of the issues involved in designing a media-on-demand
  server (they really focus on temporal data like video and audio). They do
  have a few results comparing various granularities for disk-requests and
  network messages, which seem to be from an Intel Paragon implementation,
  although they do not describe the experimental setup. See jadav:evaluation,
  jadav:j-ioschedule, jadav:ioschedule.}
