Maximizing Buffer and Disk Utilizations for News On-Demand

Summary: Maximize throughput under fixed buffer and disk bandwidth by co-optimizing buffer and disk utilization for multimedia workloads. Buffer sharing can cut total buffer needs by up to 50%; IP prefetching outperforms SP, delivering ~40% throughput gain. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
