Abstract :
The minimum reservation rate problem arises in distributed systems for handling digital audio and video data. The problem is to find the minimum rate at which data must be reserved on a shared storage system in order to provide continuous buffered play-back of a variable-rate output schedule. The problem is equivalent to the minimum output rate: given input rates during various time periods, find the minimum output rate under which the buffer never overflows. The authors present an O(n log n) randomized algorithm and an O (n log n log log n) deterministic one
