Abstract
The granularity of scheduling video streams can be categorized as cycle-scheduling and slot-scheduling where a time cycle is further divided into time slots. To avoid resource conflict and thereby increase throughput of clustered video servers, slot-scheduling using conflict-free scheduling and especially cycle-scheduling using full-duplex scheduling and ordered scheduling are presented in the paper. Also, the analysis of the pros and cons of applying slot-scheduling and cycle-scheduling on clustered video servers are discussed.
