Computer Bandwidth throttling

Bandwidth throttling is the intentional slowing of Internet service by an Internet service provider. 

It is a reactive measure employed in communication networks in an apparent attempt to regulate network traffic and minimize bandwidth congestion. Bandwidth throttling can occur at different locations on the network. 

On a local area network (LAN), a sysadmin may employ bandwidth throttling to help limit network congestion and server crashes. On a broader level, the Internet service provider may use bandwidth throttling to help reduce a user's usage of bandwidth that is supplied to the local network.

Throttling can be used to actively limit a user's upload and download rates on programs such as video streaming, BitTorrent protocols and other file sharing applications, as well as even out the usage of the total bandwidth supplied across all users on the network. Bandwidth throttling is also often used in Internet applications, in order to spread a load over a wider network to reduce local network congestion, or over a number of servers to avoid overloading individual ones, and so reduce their risk of crashing, and gain additional revenue by compelling users to use more expensive pricing schemes where bandwidth is not throttled

Definition of:CPU throttling

Adjusting the speed of the CPU. Also called "dynamic frequency scaling," CPU throttling is commonly used to slow down the computer whenever possible to use less energy and conserve battery. It is also used to make the system quieter. At slower speed, the CPU chip generates less heat, and the fan, which is typically the noisiest component in a computer, can be made to run slower.

Cyberon Optimizes CSpotter Voice Recognition Software

Cyberon Optimizes CSpotter Voice Recognition Software for Cadence Tensilica Fusion and HiFi DSPs

SAN JOSE, Calif., 07 Jul 2015

Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS) today announced that Cyberon has optimized its CSpotter voice recognition software for the Cadence® Tensilica® Fusion and HiFi digital signal processors (DSPs). CSpotter is a voice recognition engine that supports low-power always listening with keyword spotting.

Cyberon’s CSpotter software is specifically designed for a new generation of always on mobile and IoT devices, listening to ambient speech to detect and respond to a wake word and/or trigger commands. CSpotter supports 32 languages. More information on the CSpotter software is available at www.cyberon.com.tw.

The Tensilica HiFi DSP is the most widely used and licensable audio/voice/speech DSP family, with support for over 150 proven audio/voice software packages and over 70 software partners. More information is available at www.cadence.com/news/hifi_cyberon.

The Tensilica Fusion DSP, announced on April 22, 2015, is ideal for applications requiring merged controller plus DSP computation, ultra-low energy and a small footprint. More information is available athttp://ip.cadence.com/fusion.

“Our goal is to make it quick and easy to add voice commands to a wide range of applications from smartphones, smart toys, wearables, automotive to IoT,” said Tai-Hsuan Ho, founder and CEO of Cyberon. “We feel three factors are very important for our success. The first is that we are running on the most popular platforms, which is why we picked the Tensilica DSPs. Secondly, CSpotter is one of the most accurate, noise-robust and small footprint voice recognition engines used as a wake word trigger in voice-activation applications. Finally, we offer multi-language flexibility with support for 32 languages, enabling developers to create voice-enabled devices that can be shipped around the world.”

“The Cyberon software is a valuable addition to our huge audio/voice/speech software partner ecosystem, offering advanced features including the ability for users to create their own personal and speaker-dependent trigger words,” said Larry Przywara, group director of audio/voice IP marketing, Cadence.
