[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] VC-1 MMX DSP functions

Hello,

Zuxy Meng a ?crit :

And myself on a x86-64 core2 system.

I haven't tested the mid-performer, but I can confirm this. Using
START/STOP_TIMER, the figures are (on a 1080p sequence): ~2800
dezicycles for MMX, ~3800 for SSE2.

Maybe have a look at the attached opannotate (based on 4 runs) for your
s/w pipelined SSE2 functions?

The 1/4 and 3/4 seem well pipelined, with only the output that's costly.
However, if opannotate is to be believed (because some timings are very
surprising), the 1/2 gets quite a lot of stalls, probably up to the
point where they make up for most of the execution time.

Best regards,
