HYDRA: High-Speed Data Recording Architecture

I was involved in research on High Speed Data Stream Recording for development of a modular, scalable architecture to record multiple, concurrent streams using unified algorithms that can accommodate both recording and playback with low latency.

This research is guided by Prof. Roger Zimmerman at Data Management Research Laboratory (DMRL), Integrated Media Systems Center, USC.

Details of the project (and pictures) can be found here.
