多协议、性能稳定、丰富API的流媒体服务器软件
4.1.2版本Wowza transcoder插件的转码性能
element('share');?>
Wowza Transcoder 插件同时提供硬件加速编码和非硬件加速编码两种能力，具体依赖于你的硬件配置。这篇文章提供的最新的性能基准数据来自软编码(默认)、Intel Quick Sync(Ivy Bridge)加速编码以及NVIDIA NVENC 加速编码。 这些数据仅供参考，你能得到的性能很大程度上依赖于你的网络带宽、视频源的编码、Wowza的配置以及整个操作系统的瓶颈等等。了解更多Wowza产品的细节

注意:
  • 本文的性能测试只针对Wowza Streaming Engine™ 软件或Wowza Media Server® 软件 (版本3)以上的版本。

  • 要获得你的Wowza环境上的转码性能指标，请参考如何获得你的Wowza Transcoder 插件的转码性能指标。

  • 重要:在最新的NVIDIA 图形驱动中(340 或以上版本)，已经不再支持NVIDIA CUDA 加速编码功能了，因此从Wowza Streaming Engine 4.1.2开始就不再支持基于CUDA的加速编码了。


概述



本文的性能测试采用的Wowza版本是Wowza Streaming Engine 4.1.2

本文所有的测试都采用了相同的机制：持续增加输入流的数量直到服务器的CPU利用率接近65%。我们建议在实际商业运营环境下，转码工作不能消耗超过50%-55%的CPU资源。这将会为转码后的输出流播放保留一定的CPU资源。

注意:在执行这些测试之前,Wowza Streaming Engine 已经按照性能调优指南进行了性能优化。
