Optional change in diamond search to continue in the best move

This is still WIP since the exact way the new method is to be used is

Stack the rate-distortion statistics in the sub8x8 rd loop. This allows
the encoder to skip the forward transform, quantization, and coeff cost
estimation, in the sub8x8 rd optimization search, if the motion
vector(s) are of integer pixel value, and have been tested in the
previous prediction filter type rd loops of the same block.
This gives about 2% speed-up for bus_cif at 2000 kpbs, for speed 0.
Its efficacy depends how frequently the motion search will select an
integer motion vector.

The bounds therefore are slightly tighter. The feature is made
a speed 1 feature.
Rebased.

This prevents a duplicate memcpy of a 128-byte struct every time
set_scale_factors() is called (which is a lot), thus leading to a
decrease from 3.7 MB to 1.85 MB of struct copying per 64x64 block
RD/partition loop.
Overall, this decreases encoding time of the first 50 frames of bus
@ 1500kbps (speed 0) from 1min5.9 to 1min4.9, i.e. about a 1.5%
overall speedup. We can likely get more gains by removing the copy
of the other struct (and replacing it with an indexing) as well.

super_block_yrd(). Overall speed change (on derfraw300) is roughly
-13%. This can probably be improved further by caching best_yrd
between partition searches. Also, we might be able to get more

Current partition checking starts from small sizes, and then goes up
to large sizes. This experiment uses the small partitions' motion
estimation result, which is already available, to speed up the
large partition's motion estimation. We can decide to skip some

motion vector(MV) result as current partition's prediction MV, limit
the search range and reference frame.

In the prior code, the above context pointers used for entropy
decoding were initialized on the first frame, and not updated when

This speed feature allows the encoder to largely remove the spatial
dependency between blocks inside a 64x64 superblock, thereby removing
the need to repeatedly encode superblocks per partition type in the
rate-distortion optimization loop.
A major challenge lies in the intra modes tested in the rate-distortion
optimization loop. The subsequent blocks do not have access to the
reconstructed boundary pixels without the intermediate coding steps.
This was resolved by using the original pixels for intra prediction
in the rd loop, followed by an appropriately designed distortion
modeling on the quantization parameters. Experiments also suggested
that the performance impact is more discernible at lower bit-rate/psnr
settings. Hence a quantizer dependent threshold is applied to deactivate
skip of block coding.

Adds a speed feature to eliminate full-rd computation if the modeled
rd or rd based on a different parameter in the same mode is already
a lot larger than the best rd yet.
Specifically, only search the sharp and smooth filters if the modeled

best rd cost so far. Also, skip full-rd computation of non splitmv
inter modes if the modeled rd cost based on pred error is within the
same factor of the best rd cost so far.

This probably has a mildly negative impact on performance, but will
(in future commits - or possibly merged with this one) allow SIMD
implementations of individual intra prediction functions. We may
perhaps want to consider having separate functions per txfm-size
also (i.e. 4x4, 8x8, 16x16 and 32x32 intra prediction functions for
each intra prediction mode), but I haven't played much with that
yet.

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

This commit allows encoder to detect the cumulative rate-distortion
cost per transformed block inside a partition. If the cumulative
rd cost is already above the best rd value, it terminates the rest
operations and continue to next prediction mode test.

to 266 second, i.e., about 13% speed-up at no performance penalty.

sf->unused_mode_skip_lvl. Tests modes as normal for all
sizes at or below the given level. At larger sizes it skips
all modes that were not chosen at any smaller size.
Hence setting BLOCK_SIZE_SB64X64 is in effect off.
Setting BLOCK_SIZE_AB4X4 will only consider modes that
were chosen for one or more 4x4 blocks at larger sizes.
sf->reference_masking.
Do a test encode of the NONE partition at one size and create
a reference frame mask based on the best rd choice. In the
full search only allow this reference frame.
Currently it is testing 64x64 and repeats this in the full search.
This does not work well with Jim's Partition code just now and

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).

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

(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).

This should significantly speedup cost_coeffs(). Basically what the
patch does is to make the neighbour arrays padded by one item to
prevent an eob check in get_coef_context(), then it populates each
col/row scan and left/top edge coefficient with two times the same
neighbour - this prevents a single/double context branch in
get_coef_context(). Lastly, it populates neighbour arrays in pixel
order (rather than scan order), so we don't have to dereference the
scantable to get the correct neighbours.

This commit replaces zrun_zbin_boost, a method of biasing non-zero
coefficients following runs of zero-coefficients to be rounded towards
zero, with an explicit skip-block choice in the RD loop.
The logic is basically that if individual coefficients should be rounded
towards zero (from a RD point of view), the trellis/optimize loop should
take care of it. If whole blocks should be zero (from a RD point of
view), a single RD check is much more efficient than a complete
serialization of the quantization loop.
Quality change: derf +0.5% psnr, +1.6% ssim; yt +0.6% psnr, +1.1% ssim.

Makes first 50 frames of bus @ 1500kbps encode from 3min22.7 to 3min18.2,
i.e. 2.3% faster. In addition, use the sub_pixel_avg functions to calc
the variance of the averaging predictor. This is slightly suboptimal
because the function is subpixel-position-aware, but it will (at least
for the SSE2 version) not actually use a bilinear filter for a full-pixel
position, thus leading to approximately the same performance compared to
if we implemented an actual average-aware full-pixel variance function.
That gains another 0.3 seconds (i.e. encode time goes to 3min17.4), thus
leading to a total gain of 2.7%.

Optimized the quantization function by making it a two-pass
process. The first pass does a quick checking of the transform
coefficients against the base ZBIN, and only keep the good
enough set of coefficients for quantization. A skipping
check is added. If all coefficients are within the base ZBIN, no
quantization is needed. The second pass is the actual quantization
pass, which only processes the coefficient subset determined
in first pass. This reduces the computation. Furthermore, an
alternitive method is used for large transform size, which often
has sparse nonzero quantized coefficients.
Overall, the encoder speedup is about 4%. The quantization function
itself gets 20% faster.

This allows speed-up for fdct32x32 in the rd loop. No performance
loss observed.

This seems to only be used in the encoder. Also remove an empty wrapper
file that contained forward declarations for this function, but didn't
actually define any actual functions.

vp9_default_inter_mode_probs was being accessed with a different type
than it was defined with. Ensure that its declaration is included
prior to its definition.

All elements of this table are equal to 252, so replace it with a
single constant VP9_COEF_UPDATE_PROB.

The encoding time for bus at CIF goes from 661s to 625s. This commit
also enabled unit test of sad8x4/4x8 in sad_test.cc.

Avoid calling decode_block, inverse transform/add in the block is
a skip block for SBs smaller than 8x8 and intra-coded SBs.

Modified to work with 8x8 blocks of memory. Will revisit
later for further optimizations. For the HD clip used, the
decoder improved by almost 20%.

vpxdec stays in a loop when decoding vp9. This patch is a
quick fix to stop the loop when all data has been decoded.
Eventually we should move the vp9_get_raw_frame() call into
vp8_get_frame().

The encode-side scaling was not indexing through the image correctly
for the chroma planes, causing a green checkerboard-like output in
the unit test.

Previous code indexed using the tile length coded in the bitstream
without checking that the read would be valid.

Removes the case of coding prob = 0 for forward updates, since that
is not an allowed probability to code.
Slightly improves efficiency but may not matter in practice.

This commit fixed the allowable partition types for bottom-right
corner blocks.
When a block has over half of its pixels as valid content in both
vertical and horizontal directions, allow all the four partition
types in the bit-stream. Otherwise, apply partition type constraints.

* New probs for subpel filters/tx_count
* Makes a change to not reset to defaults for the tx_size
probs if an intermediate frame reverts to using a fixed tx_size.
* A few updates to the parameters for backward adaptation for mode/mv
* some cosmetic cleanups

This commit has no impact but to help us debug issues. To Use call like
this:
vp9_print_modes_and_motion_vectors(cpi->common.mi, cpi->common.mi_rows,
cpi->common.mi_cols,
cpi->common.current_video_frame,
"decode_mi.stt");

No bitstream change.
Removes unused filters and the code for the case of 2 switchable filters;
also changes the 8tap-smooth filter coefficients for integer shifts to be
interpolating to be consistent with the way it is implemented currently.
Change-Id: I96c542fd8c06f4e0df507a645976f58e6de92aae
Implements ability to signal and decode frames that are
encoded using only intra coding modes. Only the decode
side has been implemented here.
