It's interesting that Dr. Scient Paal Halvorsen that recently finished his thesis about the subject 'Memory buffering / caching in multimedia streaming systems'. This has the following description The INSTANCE operating system enhancements show great improvements for multimedia streaming. In this thesis, we want to look at buffering/caching/prefetching mechanisms suitable for multimedia streams combined with the INSTANCE zero-copy data path.
