Andreas Rheinhardt aeb138679a avcodec/x86/mpegvideoencdsp: Port add_8x8basis_ssse3() to ASM
Both GCC and Clang completely unroll the unlikely loop at -O3,
leading to codesize bloat; their code is also suboptimal, as they
don't make use of pmulhrsw (even with -mssse3). This commit
therefore ports the whole function to external assembly. The new
function occupies 176B here vs 1406B for GCC.

Benchmarks for a testcase with huge qscale (notice that the C version
is unrolled just like the unlikely loop in the SSSE3 version):
add_8x8basis_c:                                         43.4 ( 1.00x)
add_8x8basis_ssse3 (old):                               43.6 ( 1.00x)
add_8x8basis_ssse3 (new):                               11.9 ( 3.63x)

FFmpeg README

FFmpeg is a collection of libraries and tools to process multimedia content such as audio, video, subtitles and related metadata.

Libraries

  • libavcodec provides implementation of a wider range of codecs.
  • libavformat implements streaming protocols, container formats and basic I/O access.
  • libavutil includes hashers, decompressors and miscellaneous utility functions.
  • libavfilter provides means to alter decoded audio and video through a directed graph of connected filters.
  • libavdevice provides an abstraction to access capture and playback devices.
  • libswresample implements audio mixing and resampling routines.
  • libswscale implements color conversion and scaling routines.

Tools

  • ffmpeg is a command line toolbox to manipulate, convert and stream multimedia content.
  • ffplay is a minimalistic multimedia player.
  • ffprobe is a simple analysis tool to inspect multimedia content.
  • Additional small tools such as aviocat, ismindex and qt-faststart.
