| Abstract | The EXT3NS is a scalable file system designed to handle video streaming workload in large-scale on-demand streaming services. It is based on a special H/W device, called Network-Storage card (NS card), which aims at accelerating streaming operation by shortening the data path from storage device to network interface. The design objective of EXT3NS is to minimize the delay and the delay variance of I/O request in the sequential workload on NS card. Metadata structure, file organization, metadata structure, unit of storage, etc. are elaborately tailored to achieve this objective. Further, EXT3NS provides the standard API's to read and write files in storage unit of NS card. The streaming server utilizes it to gain high disk I/O bandwidth, to avoid unnecessary memory copies on the data path from disk to network, and to alleviates CPU's burden by offloading parts of network protocol processing, The EXT3NS is a full functional file system based on the popular EXT3. The performance measurements on our prototype video server show obvious performance improvements. Specifically, we obtain better results from file system benchmark program, and obtain performance improvements in disk read and network transmission, which leads to overall streaming performance increase. Especially, the streaming server shows much less server's CPU utilization and less fluctuation of client bit rate, hence more reliable streaming service is possible. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
