optimization Tips (for libavcodec):
|
||||
|
||||
What to optimize:
|
||||
if you plan to do non-x86 architecture specific optimiztions (SIMD normally) then
|
||||
take a look in the i386/ directory, as most important functions are allready
|
||||
optimized for MMX
|
||||
If you plan to do non-x86 architecture specific optimiztions (SIMD normally)
|
||||
then take a look in the i386/ directory, as most important functions are
|
||||
already optimized for MMX.
|
||||
|
||||
if you want to do x86 optimizations then u can either try to finetune the stuff in the
|
||||
i386 directory or find some other functions in the c source to optimize, but there
|
||||
arent many left

||||
If you want to do x86 optimizations then you can either try to finetune the
|
||||
stuff in the i386 directory or find some other functions in the C source to
|
||||
optimize, but there aren't many left.
|
||||
|
||||
Understanding these overoptimized functions:
|
||||
as many functions, like the c ones tend to be a bit unreadable currently becouse
|
||||
of optimizations it is difficult to understand them (and write arichtecture
|
||||
specific versions, or optimize the c functions further) it is recommanded to look
|
||||
at older CVS versions of the interresting files (just use CVSWEB at
|
||||
http://www1.mplayerhq.hu/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/ffmpeg/libavcodec/?cvsroot=FFmpeg)
|
||||
or perhaps look into the other architecture specific versions in i386/, ppc/,
|
||||
alpha/, ...; even if u dont understand the instructions exactly it could help
|
||||
understanding the functions & how they can be optimized
