Speex hardware

Please list any experience/knowledge you've had with Speex on the following hardware, including model, minimum speed required for real-time or other observations. When providing benchmarks, please specify:

• CPU speed
• Speex version
• Sampling rate (narrowband vs wideband)
• Bit-rate
• Complexity setting
• Any other option that isn't the default
• Compiler (and version)

See also supported CPU and optimization flags here - http://www.speex.org/docs/manual/speex-manual/node5.html

x86

• SSE optimisations (intrinsics)

Power

• No Altivec support yet

ARM

• Port with gcc inline assembly.

Performance results for Cirrus Logic EDB9315A @ 200MHz

Tests were run with following configuration:

• Speex svn rev.13928
• fixed point (though this CPU have hardware floating-point, we were interested in fixed point operation at that moment).
• Narrow-Band
• complexity set either to defailt or to minimum value, I do not recall exactly now :( But I think results will not differ considerably.
• no DTX
• no preprocessing, just bare encoding/decoding

Speex NB performance on Cirrus EDB9315A @ 200MHz

	mode=2	mode=3	mode=4	mode=5	mode=6	mode=7	mode=8
encoding	3.7ms	3.3ms	4.5ms	3.7ms	5.8ms	4.7ms	3.2ms
decoding	0.45ms	0.5ms	0.5ms	0.5ms	0.5ms	0.55ms	0.45ms

Please, note, that these values may be inaccurate and may be different in your system. E.g. different version of gcc produce different results. These values should rather give you rough idea on how Speex performance looks like.
