[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 3/3] lavc/aarch64: Add neon implementation for pix_median_abs8

Hubert Mazur hum at semihalf.com
Tue Sep 20 14:01:58 EEST 2022


Provide optimized implementation for pix_median_abs8 function.

Performance comparison tests are shown below.
- median_sad_1_c: 277.0
- median_sad_1_neon: 82.0

Benchmarks and tests run with checkasm tool on AWS Graviton 3.
