According to http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,1880749,00.asp ATI is delivering a GPU enabled transcoding method that cuts video transcoding down to 1/5 the time it would take the cpu. This might also be applied to audio codecs in theory (I havent looked into it enough).
Lets face it the video controller in an asterisk server is most likely going to be under utilizied. You can get a reasonable card for very little money. This might be an interesting approach to squeze more performance out of a system. This might make things slightly more interesting in the near future. Although I wonder how much better it would be with a high volume of calls. -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel UK +44 870 340 4605 Germany +49 801 777 555 3402 US +1 360 207 0479 or +1 516 687 5200 FreeWorldDialup: 635378
