    • A Fully Scalable and Distributed Architecture for Video-on-Demand 

      Cores Prado, Fernando; Ripoll, A.; Luque, Emilio (Springer Verlag, 2001)
      In spite of the attractiveness of Video-on-demand (VoD) services, their implantation to the present has not been as widespread as could have been desired due to centralized VoD systems have a limited streaming capacity ...

    • A New Task Graph Model for Mapping Message Passing Applications 

      Roig Mateu, Concepció; Ripoll, A.; Guirado Fernández, Fernando (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2007)
      The exploitation of parallelism in a message passing platform implies a previous modeling phase of the parallel application as a task graph, which properly reflects its temporal behavior. In this paper, we analyze the ...

    • A Pipeline-Based Approach for Mapping Message-Passing Applications with an Input Data Stream 

      Guirado Fernández, Fernando; Ripoll, A.; Roig Mateu, Concepció; Luque, Emilio (Springer Verlag, 2004)
      Pipeline applications simultaneously execute different instances from an input data set. Performance parameters for such applications are latency (the time taken to process an individual data set) and throughput (the ...

    • AMEEDA: A general-purpose mapping tool for parallel applications on dedicated clusters 

      Yuan, X.; Roig Mateu, Concepció; Ripoll, A.; Senar, M.A.; Guirado Fernández, Fernando; Luque, Emilio (Springer Verlag, 2002)
      The mapping of parallel applications constitutes a difficult problem for which very few practical tools are available. AMEEDA has been developed in order to overcome the lack of a general-purpose mapping tool. The ...

    • Designing an effective P2P system for a VoD system to exploit the multicast communication 

      Yang, X. Y.; Cores Prado, Fernando; Hernández Budé, Porfidio; Ripoll, A.; Luque, Emilio (Elsevier, 2010)
      A distributed video-on-demand system (DVoD) with multiple server-nodes is a cost-effective and faulttolerant solution for a high scalable enterprise video-on-demand (VoD) system. However, such a serveroriented design is ...

    • Double P-Tree: A Distributed Architecture for Large-Scale Video-on-Demand 

      Cores Prado, Fernando; Ripoll, A.; Luque, Emilio (Springer Verlag, 2002)
      In order to ensure a more widespread implementation of video-ondemand (VoD) services, it is essential that the design of cost-effective largescale VoD (LVoD) architectures be able to support hundreds of thousands ...

    • Dynamic Distributed Collaborative Merging Policy to Optimize the Multicasting Delivery Scheme 

      Yang, X. Y.; Hernández Budé, Porfidio; Cores Prado, Fernando; Ripoll, A.; Suppi, Remo; Luque, Emilio (Springer Verlag, 2005)
      The advance of Internet 2 and the proliferation of switches and routers with level three functionalities made the multicast one of the most feasible video streaming delivering techniques for the near future. Assuming ...

    • DynaPeer: A Dynamic Peer-to-Peer Based Delivery Scheme for VoD Systems 

      Souza, Leandro; Cores Prado, Fernando; Yang, Xiaoyuan; Ripoll, A. (Springer Verlag, 2007)
      Supporting Video-on-Demand (VoD) services in Internet is still a challenging issue due to high bandwidth requirement of multimedia contents and additional constraints imposed by such environment: higher delays and jitter, ...

    • Efficient Mapping for Message-Passing Applications Using the TTIG Model: A Case Study in Image Processing 

      Roig Mateu, Concepció; Ripoll, A.; Borrás, Javier; Luque, Emilio (Springer Verlag, 2001)
      In this paper we describe the development and performance of an image processing application with functional parallelism within the PVM framework. The temporal behaviour of the application is statically modelled with ...

    • Enhancing throughput for streaming applications running on cluster systems 

      Guirado Fernández, Fernando; Roig Mateu, Concepció; Ripoll, A. (Elsevier, 2013)
      The exploitation of throughput in a parallel application that processes an input data stream is a difficult challenge. For typical coarse-grain applications, where the computation time of tasks is greater than their ...

    • Exploiting Knowledge of Temporal Behaviour in Parallel Programs for Improving Distributed Mapping 

      Roig Mateu, Concepció; Ripoll, A.; Senar, M.A.; Guirado Fernández, Fernando; Luque, Emilio (Springer Verlag, 2000)
      In the distributed processing area, mapping and scheduling are very important issues in order to exploit the gain from parallelization. The generation of efficient static mapping techniques implies a previous modelling ...
