Abstract

We designed a novel algorithm, referred to as variable bit rate caching (VBRC) algorithm for continuous media data. Comparing with previous caching algorithms, VBRC can allocate the cache space and I/O bandwidth in a dynamic and just-in-time way. Using the simulation, it is testified that VBRC can improve the byte-hit-ratio of the cache and reduce the probability of “switching” operations, which is harmful to the performance of the original server.
