Better Quality, Less CPU Usage: Hardware Acceleration for Asterisk Applications

Enterprise/Large Scale Guillaume Renaud Customer and Sales Support Octasic Inc. Almost everything can be done on a general purpose CPU with the right software, but this means there are less MIPS available for other tasks. Thats why more and more Asterisk hardware solutions include DSPs to handle echo cancellation, voice quality enhancements, voice and video transcoding and mixing for conferences; not only to save CPU MIPS but also to benefit from the quality yielded by dedicated hardware components. In this session we will discuss the various advantages of hardware acceleration in the context of Asterisk applications.
