      Speed up motion estimation using small partitions' result(experiment) · df90d58f
      Yunqing Wang authored
      Current partition checking starts from small sizes, and then goes up
      to large sizes. This experiment uses the small partitions' motion
      estimation result, which is already available, to speed up the
      large partition's motion estimation. We can decide to skip some
      patition checkings if they are unlikely choices. We could use the
      motion vector(MV) result as current partition's prediction MV, limit
      the search range and reference frame.
      
      Current result at speed 1:
      psnr loss: 1.19% for stdhd, 0.287% for derf.
      speed gain: 14% for sunflower(hd), 11% for akiyo.
      
      Further improvement will be done later.

      Move uv intra mode selection in rd loop. · 2ee338ce
      Paul Wilkins authored
      Use an estimate based on DC_PRED for intra uv cost
      within the rd loop then only do a full uv mode analysis
      if an intra mode is chosen.
      
      Significant speed gains in some cases. Currently only
      enabled for speed 2 pending speed/quality tests.

      Skip redundant motion search in 4x4 level rd loop · a142d6fc

      This commit makes the encoder to perform motion search only once
      per reference frame type for each 4x4/4x8/8x4 block. For bus_cif
      at 2000 kbps, the runtime goes from 253812ms -> 217817ms
      (14% speed-up) for speed 0.

      Inline xform_quant() in encode_block_intra(). · 6fb41874
      Ronald S. Bultje authored
      Also inline some of the block calculations to assist the compiler to
      not do silly things like calculating the same offset (or converting
      between raster/transform block offset or block, mi and pixel unit)
      many, many, many times.
      
      Cycle times:
      4x4:     584 ->   505 cycles (16% faster)
      8x8:    1651 ->  1560 cycles (6% faster)
      16x16:  7897 ->  7704 cycles (2.5% faster)
      32x32: 16096 -> 15852 cycles (1.5% faster)
      
      Overall, this saves about 0.5 seconds (1min49.8 -> 1min49.3) on the
      first 50 frames of bus (speed 0) @ 1500kbps, i.e. 0.5% overall.

      Skip inter-coded block reconstruction in rd loop · 043e0f9d
      Jingning Han authored
      Skip the inverse transform and reconstruction of inter-mode coded
      blocks in the rate-distortion optimization loop, when skip_encode_sb
      feature is turned on. This provides about 1% speed-up at speed 0,
      and 1.5% speed-up at speed 1. No performance change in both settings.

      Skip duplicate block encoding in the rd loop · faff6ed0
      Jingning Han authored
      This speed feature allows the encoder to largely remove the spatial
      dependency between blocks inside a 64x64 superblock, thereby removing
      the need to repeatedly encode superblocks per partition type in the
      rate-distortion optimization loop.
      
      A major challenge lies in the intra modes tested in the rate-distortion
      optimization loop. The subsequent blocks do not have access to the
      reconstructed boundary pixels without the intermediate coding steps.
      This was resolved by using the original pixels for intra prediction
      in the rd loop, followed by an appropriately designed distortion
      modeling on the quantization parameters. Experiments also suggested
      that the performance impact is more discernible at lower bit-rate/psnr
      settings. Hence a quantizer dependent threshold is applied to deactivate
      skip of block coding.
      
      For bus_cif at 2000 kbps,
      speed 0: runtime 269854ms -> 237774ms (12% speed-up) at 0.05dB

      Prunes out full-rd computation based on modeled rd · 53ff43ad
      Deb Mukherjee authored
      Adds a speed feature to eliminate full-rd computation if the modeled
      rd or rd based on a different parameter in the same mode is already
      a lot larger than the best rd yet.
      
      Specifically, only search the sharp and smooth filters if the modeled
      rd cost based on the  regular filter is within a certain factor of the
      best rd cost so far. Also, skip full-rd computation of non splitmv
      inter modes if the modeled rd cost based on pred error is within the
      same factor of the best rd cost so far.
      
      Also adds some enhancements in the rd search for splitmv mode to
      speed things up by early breakouts. Negligible impact on performance.
      
      Resuts on derfraw300:
      psnr:    -0.013% with the splitmv enhancements, -0.24% with the rd
               breakout feature on.
      speedup: 6% with splitmv enhancements, 20% with also residual breakout
               (tested on football sequence at 600 Kbps)
