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)

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

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.

Blackfin

  • Port with gcc inline assembly.

TI C5x

  • Known to run

TI C6x

  • Known to run

Coldfire

  • Used by Rockbox

Trimedia

  • Someone did some optimisations for that but it never got fully merged.

Symbian phones model

Windows Mobile Phones

  • In order to make life easier for developer, let's also publish on which Pocket PC / Windows Mobile based phones speex works

Links collection of past experience
