  comment = {They describe a video server system being developed at the Sarnoff
  Real Time Corporation. This paper describes their simulated system. It is
  intended as more than a video-on-demand system, but also for capture and
  processing as well as playback. So they have a complex system of
  interconnected SIMD boards, each with a high-speed link to various devices,
  including a collection of disk drives. Data is striped across disks. They
  integrate playback scheduling and the disk striping in an interesting way.}
