[Asterisk-Users] DSP Coding

2004-06-03 Thread Miroslav Nachev
Hi, I would like to find some way for hardware coding instead software (using the Host CPU). Are there any PCI boards just with codecs (DSP) or other way? Best Regards, Miroslav Nachev COSMOS Software Enterprises, Ltd. Tel:(+359-2) 983-32-62 Mobile: (+359-88) 897-

Heard good things about this card from some of my associates. quite expensive though http://www.ai-logix.com/smartdsp_vr_1.html A wild idea, why not use the graphics card GPU to do the compression? I understand there're some work on using the GPU to do SIMD. Supposed to be faster than the P4 an

Ouch. The 64-port Ai-Logix board goes for (!) $3559 USD. Who is _paying_ for this stuff?!? That's >5x multiplier on what I pay for Asterisk, including the $10 per channel G.729 license. I will say that I'm looking for a good, dense DSP card that can be bodged into Asterisk. I have a lin

Ouch. The 64-port Ai-Logix board goes for (!) $3559 USD. Who is _paying_ for this stuff?!? Quite a lot of people. I know of at least 1 brand of voice logger that use these boards for real-time compression. It was pretty much necessary considering that some of those loggers were built on

..And I'd like a time machine, and a supercomputer, and a submarine too... I think you are way-over ambitious for a 1RU space. Heat, noise, all the bad things computers do get worse in confined spaces. Perhaps Cray, or someone will come out with a 1RU supercomputer soon. But I'd not hold my brea

But even at that rate, that box is going to be mighty busy... Why would you do something that crazy? You could put 8 high-end DSPs on a half-height PCI card and have each one handle a DS2's worth of channels (up to 96) and then have the 8th do general housekeeping of the entire DS3 and PCI interf

My thoughts on a DS3 * box: Forget PCI. Forget x86. There are very good bsd and linux ports for the powerpc. There are ppc's with very good TDM interfaces. All these framers and dsps speak TDM. Very simple clean design. If you do not want to build any hardware, you can probably find something of
