“IP video streaming helps people watch videos anywhere, any place on
their preferred device (TV, tablet, phone, laptops etc., aka multi-screen
market). To achieve this, RiverSilica PIXFIX* uses innovative mathematical
algorithms by transcoding ‘maximum number of streams’ sent at the ‘best
perceptible quality’. PIXFIX utilizes all Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2697 v3
accelerators, including Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions 2 (Intel® AVX2),
and this reduces the cost-per-stream.”1

 The Envivio* HEVC software encoder and the Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2697
v3 with 14 cores, 35MB of cache and DDR4 memory, supports both live and
on-demand compression in HEVC format, supporting multiple channels of
multiple resolution up to 4K. The HEVC standard reduces bandwidth
consumption compared to MPEG-4 AVC (H.264) by up to 50%, improving the
video experience and reducing cost of operations for both Ultra HD broadcast
and multiscreen video delivery.2
 Bandwidth improvement is made at the cost of a 4x to 10x increase in
processing resources needed for the video compression compared to H264.
This makes the design of a HEVC real-time transcoder a real challenge for the
telecom industry in particular when reaching 4K resolution.

Intel does not control or audit the design or implementation of
third party benchmarks or Web sites referenced in this
document. Intel encourages all of its customers to visit the
referenced Web sites or others where similar performance
benchmarks are reported and confirm whether the referenced
benchmarks are accurate and reflect performance of systems
available for purchase.
Relative performance is calculated by assigning a baseline
value of 1.0 to one benchmark result, and then dividing the
actual benchmark result for the baseline platform into each of
the specific benchmark results of each of the other platforms,
and assigning them a relative performance number that
correlates with the performance improvements reported.

Legal Disclaimers: Performance
Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions 2 (Intel® AVX2): Intel® Advanced
Vector Extensions 2 (Intel® AVX2) provides higher throughput to
certain processor operations. Due to varying processor power
characteristics, utilizing AVX instructions may cause a) some parts
to operate at less than the rated frequency and b) some parts with
Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 to not achieve any or maximum
turbo frequencies. Performance varies depending on hardware,
software, and system configuration and you can learn more at
http://www.intel.com/go/turbo.
Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel® HT Technology): Available
on select Intel® processors. Requires an Intel® HT Technology-enabled
system. Your performance varies depending on the specific
hardware and software you use. Learn more by visiting

Optimization Notice
Intel's compilers may or may not optimize to the same degree for non-Intel microprocessors for optimizations that are
not unique to Intel microprocessors. These optimizations include SSE2, SSE3, and SSSE3 instruction sets and other
optimizations. Intel does not guarantee the availability, functionality, or effectiveness of any optimization on
microprocessors not manufactured by Intel. Microprocessor-dependent optimizations in this product are intended for
use with Intel microprocessors. Certain optimizations not specific to Intel microarchitecture are reserved for Intel
microprocessors. Please refer to the applicable product User and Reference Guides for more information regarding the
specific instruction sets covered by this notice.

NAVER*: 1. Search Server Test: There are test clients and servers (search and document servers) and test clients generates the workload with given query
sets. On throughput, the test clients write data of the requests into the log file and evaluate the number of successfully finished requests per seconds. Two
types of servers were tested with one server type at a time. Each server has its own type of data (index and document volume) and clients can generate two
types of query for load generation: search requests and document requests query. 2. Indexer Test: Indexer reads input document collection to be searched
later and create index data as the result, it was tested how much time each indexer take for indexing. Performance metric is second (Lower is Better).
