      Make frame-wide filter-type decision fully RD-based. · ed995afb
      Ronald S. Bultje authored
      Overall, on all test sets, this gains about +0.2% on all metrics.
      City is a clip where this really hurts (-1.0% on all metrics), I'm
      not quite sure why yet. Maybe interesting to look into in the future.

      Implements several heuristics to prune mode search · d9b62160
      Deb Mukherjee authored
      Skips mode searches for intra and compound inter modes depending
      on the best mode so far and the reference frames. The various
      heuristics to be used are selected by bits from a flag. The
      previous direction based intra mode search pruning is also absorbed
      in this framework.
      
      Specifically the flags and their impact are:
      
      1) FLAG_SKIP_INTRA_BESTINTER (skip intra mode search for oblique
      directional modes and TM_PRED if the best so far is
      an inter mode)
      derfraw300: -0.15%, 10% speedup
      
      2) FLAG_SKIP_INTRA_DIRMISMATCH (skip D27, D63, D117 and D153
      mode search if the best so far is not one of the closest
      hor/vert/diagonal directions.
      derfraw300: -0.05%, about 9% speedup
      
      3) FLAG_SKIP_COMP_BESTINTRA (skip compound prediction mode
      search if the best so far is an intra mode)
      derfraw300: -0.06%, about 7-8% speedup
      
      4) FLAG_SKIP_COMP_REFMISMATCH (skip compound prediction search
      if the best single ref inter mode does not have the same ref
      as one of the two references being tested in the compound mode)
      derfraw300: -0.56%, about 10% speedup

      Added a speed feature use_square_partition_only · 0d7b7c09
      Yaowu Xu authored
      This commit adds a speed feature where only squared partition are
      evaluated in partition picking. Enable this feature in cpu-used 2
      reduces encoding time by ~30%.
      
      loss of compression:
      -0.9% on cif set
      -1.23% on stdhd

      Use pmovmskb to skip quantize loops over empty coefficients. · e5fb4b61
      Ronald S. Bultje authored
      If none of the 16 coefficients that we quantize per loop iteration
      are larger than the zbin, directly skip to the next round of coeffs,
      rather than doing a full quantize loop that will eventually result
      in 16 zeroes. This incurs a jump cost, but saves a lot of other work.
      32x32 quant goes from 1349 -> 1184 cycles. The same approach yielded
      no significantly positive results for smaller transforms, so is not
      used there (8x8: 103 -> 101 cycles; 16x16: 302 -> 306 cycles).

      Speed feature to binary search dir intramodes · 37501d68
      Deb Mukherjee authored
      This speed feature will skip searching the directional intra prediction
      modes D63, D117, D27, D153 if the best intra mode so far is not one of
      the diagonal, horizontal or vertical directions closest to the respective
      directions being tested. In other words, this implements a sort of
      binary search in the angular domain.
      
      Speedup: about 9-10%
      Results: -0.05% only on derfraw300.

      Tx size selection enhancements · 8d3d2b76
      Deb Mukherjee authored
      (1) Refines the modeling function and uses that to add some speed
      features. Specifically, intead of using a flag use_largest_txfm as
      a speed feature, an enum tx_size_search_method is used, of which
      two of the types are USE_FULL_RD and USE_LARGESTALL. Two other
      new types are added:
      USE_LARGESTINTRA (use largest only for intra)
      USE_LARGESTINTRA_MODELINTER (use largest for intra, and model for
      inter)
      
      (2) Another change is that the framework for deciding transform type
      is simplified to use a heuristic count based method rather than
      an rd based method using txfm_cache. In practice the new method
      is found to work just as well - with derf only -0.01 down.
      The new method is more compatible with the new framework where
      certain rd costs are based on full rd and certain others are
      based on modeled rd or are not computed. In this patch the existing
      rd based method is still kept for use in the USE_FULL_RD mode.
      In the other modes, the count based method is used.
      However the recommendation is to remove it eventually since the
      benefit is limited, and will remove a lot of complications in
      the code
      
      (3) Finally a bug is fixed with the existing use_largest_txfm speed feature
      that causes mismatches when the lossless mode and 4x4 WH transform is
      forced.
      
      Results on derf:
      USE_FULL_RD: +0.03% (due to change in the tables), 0% encode time reduction
      USE_LARGESTINTRA: -0.21%, 15% encode time reduction (this one is a
      pretty good compromise)
      USE_LARGESTINTRA_MODELINTER: -0.98%, 22% encode time reduction
      (currently the benefit of modeling is limited for txfm size selection,
      but keeping this enum as a placeholder) .
      USE_LARGESTALL: -1.05%, 27% encode-time reduction (same as existing
      use_largest_txfm speed feature).

      Add speed feature to disable splitmv · b12e060b
      Yunqing Wang authored
      Added a speed feature in speed 1 to disable splitmv for HD (>=720)
      clips. Test result on stdhd set: 0.3% psnr loss and 0.07% ssim
      loss. Encoding speedup is 36%.
      
      (For reference: The test result on derf set showed 2% psnr loss
      and 1.6% ssim loss. Encoding speedup is 34%. SPLITMV should be
      enabled for small resolution videos.)

      Calculate rd cost per transformed block · b91a1586
      Jingning Han authored
      Compute the rate-distortion cost per transformed block, and cumulate
      the cost through all blocks inside a partition. This allows encoder
      to detect if the cumulative rd cost is already above the best rd cost,
      thereby enabling early termination in the rate-distortion optimization
      search.
