Ever notice how interactive video feels great one moment and laggy the next? We dig into why - and what it takes to make streams feel as immediate and fair as a top-tier multiplayer game. Coming from a gaming-first background, we talk candidly about round-trip latency, jitter, and why 30 ms one way is the magic threshold for experiences where people don’t just watch, but participate. We walk through the hard lessons of early cloud gaming, from capex-heavy builds to routing realities, and show...

Watts Up With Your Encoder? Akamai & Cires21 Benchmark VPUs vs. GPUs
Energy efficiency is quickly becoming the new battleground in video processing infrastructure, and a groundbreaking benchmark study has revealed just how dramatic the differences can be between competing technologies. In this eye-opening conversation, Chris Milstead from Akamai and Dennis Mungai from Cires21 share findings from their joint research comparing Video Processing Units (VPUs) to traditional GPUs for encoding workloads. The benchmark shows that VPUs deliver 4.7X better energy effic...
