[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 1/6] lavu/riscv: implement floating point clips

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

Unlike x86, fmin/fmax are single instructions, not function calls. They
are much much faster than doing a comparison, then branching based on its
results. With this, audiodsp.vector_clipf gets almost twice as fast, and
a properly unrollled version of it gets 4-5x faster, on SiFive-U74.
This is only the low-hanging fruit: FFMIN and FFMAX are presumably
affected as well.

This likely applies to other instruction sets with native IEEE floats,
especially those lacking a conditional select instruction.
