Asterisk does all its DSP work in software, using the host's CPU(s). Since the Cell Processor is likely a mediocre CPU but with a monstrous stream processing capability, wouldn't it make sense to run very large Asterisk installations on the Cell Processor? Or on dual Cell Processors? The Signal processing parts of Asterisk would have to be coded to run on the Cell's SPE units, but that should make it capable of supporting many simultaneous channels, no?
