A High Performance Software Implementation of MPEG Audio Encoder

Overview The MPEG/Audio is a standard for both transmitting and recording compressed audio. The MPEG algorithm achieves compression by exploiting the perceptual limitation of the human ear. The standard defines the decoding process and also the syntax of the coded bitstream. However, there is room for having different implementations to generate the compressed bitstream. In this paper we propose a high performance software implementation of the MPEG/Audio encoder. We obtained more than a factor of five improvement over a straightforward implementation on the IBM PowerPC, Model 250.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
