This commit allows the encoder to account for additional chroma
plane costs in the mode decision process, if the current block
potentially contains significant color change. It improves the
visual quality at very low bit-rates.
The compression performance of dark720p is improved by 12.39% in
speed 6. For jimred at 150 kbps, the PSNR of V component (red)
increased by 0.2 dB, at the expense of about 5% increase in
encoding time. Note that for sequences where the chroma components
are fairly consistent, the encoding time increase is negligible.
On average the rtc set compression performance is improved by
1.172% in PSNR and 1.920% in SSIM.

In frame parallel decode, libvpx decoder decodes several frames on all
cpus in parallel fashion. If not being flushed, it will only return frame
when all the cpus are busy. If getting flushed, it will return all the
frames in the decoder. Compare with current serial decode mode in which
libvpx decoder is idle between decode calls, libvpx decoder is busy
between decode calls.
Current frame parallel decode will only speed up the decoding for frame
parallel encoded videos. For non frame parallel encoded videos, frame
parallel decode is slower than serial decode due to lack of loopfilter
worker thread.
There are still some known issues that need to be addressed. For example:
decode frame parallel videos with segmentation enabled is not right sometimes.

In this patch the active max Q is adjusted for each GF
group based on the vbr bit allocation and raw first pass
group error.
This will tend to give a lower q for easy sections
and a higher value for very hard sections. As such it is
expected to improve quality in some of the easier
sections where quality issues have been reported.

Where there is very subtle motion, especially when combined
with low spatial complexity, the codec sometimes fails to quickly
pick up the ambient motion field.
Once it has been established though the field propagates well using
Nearest and Near MV.
This patch looks specifically at the case where the Nearest and Near
have not been established as non zero vectors and in this case
discounts the cost of searching for a new vector in the rd code.
This will almost certainly have some implications in terms of encode
speed but it should be possible to mitigate the impact in a subsequent
using first pass stats and the local spatial complexity.
Average results for test sets approximately neutral.

The restructure moves the decision into the rd pick
modes loop and makes a decision based at the 16x16
block level instead of only the 64x64 level.
This gives finer granularity and better visual results
on the clips I have tested. Metrics results are worse
than the old AQ2 especially for PSNR and this mode
now falls between AQ0 and AQ1 in terms of visual
impact and metrics results.
Further tuning of this to follow.
It should be noted that if there are multiple iterations
of the recode loop the segment for a MB could change
in each loop if the previous loop causes a change in the
complexity / variance bin of the block. Also where a block
gets a delta Q this will alter the rd multiplier for this block
in subsequent recode iterations and frames where the
segmentation is applied.

The function vp9_filter_block1d16_h8_ssse3 uses the PSHUFB instruction which has a 3 cycle latency and slows execution when done in blocks of 5 or more on Atom processors.
By replacing the PSHUFB instructions with other more efficient single cycle instructions (PUNPCKLBW + PUNPCHBW + PALIGNR) performance can be improved.
In the original code, the PSHUBF uses every byte and is consecutively copied.
This is done more efficiently by PUNPCKLBW and PUNPCHBW, using PALIGNR to concatenate the intermediate result and then shift right the next consecutive 16 bytes for the final result.
For example:
filter = 0,1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8
Reg = 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15
REG1 = PUNPCKLBW Reg, Reg = 0,0,1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7
REG2 = PUNPCHBW Reg, Reg = 8,8,9,9,10,10,11,11,12,12,13,13,14,14,15,15
PALIGNR REG2, REG1, 1 = 0,1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8
This optimization improved the function performance by 23% and produced a 3% user level gain on 1080p content on Atom processors.
There was no observed performance impact on Core processors (expected).

Currently, VP9 supports column-tile encoding, which allows a frame
to be encoded in multiple column tiles independently. The number of
column tiles are set by encoder option "--tile-columns". This

based multi-threaded encoder. Each thread processes one or more
tiles.
Usage:
For HD clips:
--tile-columns=2 --threads=1/2/3/4

In AQ1 a rate adjustment was applied for blocks coded with a
deltaq. This tends to skew the partition selection and cause
rate overshoot.
For example, consider a 64x64 super block where some but not all
sub blocks are in a low q segment and some are in a high q segment.
The choice of Q when considering large partition and transform sizes
is defined by the lowest sub block segment id (currently this implies the
lowest Q). If some parts of the larger partition are very hard this will
cause a high rate component.
The correct behavior here is for the rd code to discard the large partition
choice and break down to sub blocks where some have low and some
have high Q. However the rate correction factor above mask the high
cost of coding at a larger partition size.

Two members in struct CYCLIC_REFRESH
int64_t projected_rate_sb;
int64_t projected_dist_sb;
are updated at the superblock level, which makes them shared data
in the multi-thread situation, and requires extra work to handle
them. However, those values are updated and used immediately, and
therefore can be removed. This patch cleaned up the code and
removed the two members.

Rate correction factor is used to correct the estimated rate for any
given quantizer, and feeds into rate control for quantizer selection.
We make use of the actual bits used to calculate this rate correction
factor with an adjustment limit to prevent over-adjustment.
This commit adapts the adjustment limit to the difference between the
estimated bits and the actual bits, allows the adjustment limit to vary
between 0.125 (when estimate is close to actual) and 0.625 (when there
is >10X factor off between estimated and actual bits). By doing this,
the commit appears to have largely corrected two observed issues:
1. Adjustment is too slow when the actual bits used is way off from
estimate due to the small adjustment limit.
2. Extreme oscillating quantizer choices due to the feedback loop.

This commit makes the speed -6 and above use the reconstructed
boundary pixels for precise intra prediction. This allows more
intra prediction modes to be tested in the non-RD coding process.
Enabling horizontal and vertical intra prediction modes can

I0c5f010 changed to allow update golden reference buffer in CBR mode,
this commit changes the use of rate_correction_factor for those frames
to be aligned with the new usage. This commit attempts to solve two
issues:
a. Initialization of rate correction factor for Golden Frame
Prior to this patch, even the regular inter frame has been update
the rate correction factor based on content and encoding results,
the first golden frame would still use the ininitialized value
that can be way off.
b. Allowing rate correction factor update to be slightly faster
Prior to this patch, when the rate correction factor is off, the
update to the factor is too slow, the factor could not get close
to a semi-correct value even after many frames.
The commit helps all clips in psnr/ssim metric, but especially to
a few clip in RTC set that rate correction was way off. For example
thaloundeskmtgvga gained about .5dB for both overall/average psnr.

Adds support for one-pass rc-enabled SVC encoder with callbacks for
getting per-layer packets.
- the callback function registration is implemented as an encoder
control function.
- if the callback function is not registered, the old way of
aggregating packets with superframe will take effect.
- one more control function “VP9E_GET_SVC_LAYER_ID” has been
implemented to get the temporal/spatial id from the encoder
within the callback. This can be used to get the ids to put on RTP
packet.

This patch was to fix the vpxdec fuzzing3 test failure. When an
error occurs, setjmp() is invoked, which calls the decoder
removing routine. In multiple thread situation, other threads
could try to access the frame context memory that is already
deallocated, thus causing a segfault.
An invalid unit test was added for this issue.

The aim of this patch is to apply a positive weighting to
frames that have a significant number of blocks that are
of low spatial complexity and are dark. The rationale behind
this is that artifacts tend to be more visible in such frames.
In this patch the weight is only applied in regard to the distribution
of bits between frames. Hence if all the frames share similar
characteristics (as is the case for most of our short test clips) there
will be little or no net effect.
However, the effect can be seen on some longer form test content.
For example Tears of steel baseline test:
2323.09 Kbit/s opsnr 39.915 ssim 74.729
With this patch:-
2213.34 Kbit/s opsnr 39.963 ssim 74.808
(Sligtly better metrics and about 5% smaller)
The weighting may well need some further tuning along side changes
to the aq modes.

This commit removes the cyclic aq mode dependency on
in_static_area and reworks the corresponding cut-off thresholds.
It improves the compression performance of speed -5 by 1.47% in
PSNR and 2.07% in SSIM, and the compression performance of speed
-6 by 3.10% in PSNR and 5.25% in SSIM. Speed wise, about 1% faster
in both settings at high bit-rates.

This commit makes the RTC coding mode to conditionally skip the
reference frame mode search, when the predicted motion vector of
the current reference frame gives more than two times sum of
absolute difference compared to that of other reference frames.
It reduces the runtim by 1% - 4% for speed -5 and -6. The average
compression performance is improved by about 0.1% in both settings.
It is of particular benefit to light change scenarios. The
compression performance of test clip mmmovingvga.y4m is improved by
6.39% and 15.69% at high bit rates for speed -5 and -6, respectively.
