AI algorithms, especially within the field of Machine Learning (ML), need lots of data. The more quantity and relevant data, the faster and more precise these algorithms will be. But processing lots of data is no easy task. The computing power required to process massive volumes of data and build an efficient AI system is …
Since the advent of whitebox networking, implementations have struggled in high-throughput scenarios (3Gbps/4Mpps+), with 10Gigabit solutions needing more than 20 cores to push full-duplex linerate IPSec .This is due to kernel inefficiencies (system interrupts vs polling) and unoptimized software unable to scale after a certain threshold. However modern userspace solutions built on top of the …

If streaming multimedia services want to reach broad audiences, including those without access to fast Internet and the right technology, they need to employ adaptive streaming. Delivering video streams to any device through any bandwidth requires adapting the video formats, encoding, and resolution. The foundation for successful adaptive streaming is transcoding, which is the process …
The biggest streaming companies, Youtube and Netflix, use a combination of Adaptive Bitrate (ABR) and Multi-bitrate (MBR) streaming on their video players. On the one hand, ABR streaming sets the media quality in “Auto.” It gives less control over the streaming bitrates and resolution settings to the viewer. ABR adapts the video’s quality to the …
