In sub-pixel motion search, the search range is small(+/- 3 pixels).
Preload whole search area from reference buffer into a 32-byte
aligned buffer. Then in search, load reference data from this buffer
instead. This keeps data in cache, and reduces the crossing cache-
line penalty. For tulip clip, tests on Intel Core2 Quad machine(linux)
showed encoder speed improvement:
3.4% at --rt --cpu-used =-4
2.8% at --rt --cpu-used =-3
2.3% at --rt --cpu-used =-2
2.2% at --rt --cpu-used =-1
Test on Atom notebook showed only 1.1% speed improvement(speed=-4).
Test on Xeon machine also showed less improvement, since unaligned
data access latency is greatly reduced in newer cores.
Next, I will apply similar idea to other 2 sub-pixel search functions
for encoding speed > 4.
Make this change exclusively for x86 platforms.

This is done by expanding luma row to 32-byte alignment, since
there is currently a bunch of code that assumes that
uv_stride == y_stride/2 (see, for example, vp8/common/postproc.c,
common/reconinter.c, common/arm/neon/recon16x16mb_neon.asm,
encoder/temporal_filter.c, and possibly others; I haven't done a
full audit).
It also uses replaces the hardcoded border of 16 in a number of
encoder buffers with VP8BORDERINPIXELS (currently 32), as the
chroma rows start at an offset of border/2.
Together, these two changes have the nice advantage that simply
dumping the frame memory as a contiguous blob produces a valid,
if padded, image.

This patch attempts to improve the handling of CBR streams with
respect to the short term buffering requirements. The "buffer level"
is changed to be an average over the rc buffer, rather than a long
running average. Overshoot is also tracked over the same interval
and the golden frame targets suppressed accordingly to correct for
overly aggressive boosting.
Testing shows that this is fairly consistently positive in one
metric or another -- some clips that show significant decreases
in quality have better buffering characteristics, others show
improvenents in both.

In this commit I have added an experimental function
that tests prediction quality either side of a central position
to calculate a suggested boost number for an ARF frame.
The function is passed an offset from the current position and
a number of frames to search forwards and backwards.
It returns a forward, backward and compound boost number.
The new code can be deactivated using #define NEW_BOOST 0
In its current default state the code searches forwards and backwards
from the proposed position of the next alt ref.
The the old code used a boost number calculated by scanning forward
from the previous GF up to the proposed alt ref frame position.
I have also added some code to try and prevent placement of a gf/arf

With this commit frames can be received partition-by-partition
from the encoder and passed partition-by-partition to the
decoder.
At the encoder-side this makes it easier to split encoded
frames at partition boundaries, useful when packetizing
frames. When VPX_CODEC_USE_OUTPUT_PARTITION is enabled,
several VPX_CODEC_CX_FRAME_PKT packets will be returned
from vpx_codec_get_cx_data(), containing one partition
each. The partition_id (starting at 0) specifies the decoding
order of the partitions. All partitions but the last has
the VPX_FRAME_IS_FRAGMENT flag set.
At the decoder this opens up the possibility of decoding partition
N even though partition N-1 was lost (given that independent
partitioning has been enabled in the encoder) if more info
about the missing parts of the stream is available through
external signaling.
Each partition is passed to the decoder through the
vpx_codec_decode() function, with the data pointer pointing
to the start of the partition, and with data_sz equal to the
size of the partition. Missing partitions can be signaled to
the decoder by setting data != NULL and data_sz = 0. When
all partitions have been given to the decoder "end of data"
should be signaled by calling vpx_codec_decode() with
data = NULL and data_sz = 0.
The first partition is the first partition according to the
VP8 bitstream + the uncompressed data chunk + DCT address
offsets if multiple residual partitions are used.

The current code stores pointers to coefficient tables and loads them to
access the tables contents. As these pointers are stored in the code
sections, it means we end up with text relocations. eu-findtextrel will
thus complain about code not compiled with -fpic/-fPIC.
Since the pointers are stored in the code sections, we can actually cheat
and let the assembler generate relative addressing when accessing the
coefficient tables, and just load their location with adr.

RDMULT/RDDIV defines a bit worth of distortion in term of sum squared
difference. This has also been used as errorperbit in subpixel motion
search, where the distortions computed as variance of the difference.
The variance of differences is different from sum squared differences
by amount of DC squared. Typically, for inter predicted MBs, this
difference averages around 10% between the two distortion, so this patch
introduces a 110% constant in deriving errorperbit from RDMULT/RDDIV.
Test on CIF set shows small but positive gain on overall PSNR (.03%)

Modify the second-pass code to provide a full golden-frame (GF) bit
allocation boost if the past GF group (GFG) had no alt-ref frame (ARF),
even if the current GFG does contain and ARF.
This mostly has no effect on clips, since switching ARFs on/off between
GFGs is not very common. Has a positive effect on e.g. cheer (+0.45 SSIM
at 600kbps) and football (+0.25 SSIM at 600kbps), particularly at high

firstpass.c contains some rate adjustment code that assures that the
last few frames in a sequence abide by rate limits. If the second-to-
last group of frames contains an alt-ref frame (ARF), the last golden
frame (GF) is zero bytes, and we will thus spend a ridiculously high
number of bits on regular P-frames trying to hit the target rate. This
does slightly enhance the quality of these last few frames, but has
no perceptual value (other than hitting the target rate).
Disabling this code means we consistently (slightly) undershoot the
target rate and consequently do worse on the last few frames of a
clip, which is particularly noticeable for small clips. The quality-
per-bitrate is generally better, ~0.2% better overall on derf-set,
especially on clips such as garden, tennis, foreman at low bitrates.
Has a negative effect on hallmonitor at high bitrates.

Cif set test showed a very small gain on all metric.

The encoder defined about 4 set of similar functions to calculate sum,
variance or sse or a combination of them. This commit removed one set
of these functions, get8x8var and get16x16var, where calls to the later
function are replaced with var16x16 by using the fact on a 16x16 MB:
variance == sse - sum*sum/256

In real-time mode motion search, there is no need to calculate
variance. This change improved encoding speed by 1% ~ 2%(speed=-5).

This patch attempts to reduce the peak bitrate hit by the encoder
when using small buffer windows.
Tested on the CIF set over 200-500kbps using these settings:
--buf-sz=500 --buf-initial-sz=250 --buf-optimal-sz=250 \
--undershoot-pct=100
Two pass encodes were tested at best quality. One pass encodes were
tested only at realtime speed 4:
--rt --cpu-used=-4
The peak datarate (over the specified 500ms window) was measured
for each encode, and averaged together to get metric for
"average peak," computed as SUM(peak)/SUM(target). This patch
reduces the average peak datarate as follows:
One pass:
baseline: 1.29715
this patch: 1.23664
Two pass:
baseline: 1.32702
this patch: 1.37824
This change had a positive effect on our quality metrics as well:
One pass CBR:
Min / Mean / Max (pct)
Average PSNR -0.42 / 2.86 / 27.32
Overall PSNR -0.90 / 2.00 / 17.27
SSIM -0.05 / 3.95 / 37.46
Two pass CBR:
Min / Mean / Max (pct)
Average PSNR -4.47 / 4.35 / 35.99
Overall PSNR -3.40 / 4.18 / 36.46
SSIM -4.56 / 6.98 / 53.67
One pass VBR:
Min / Mean / Max (pct)
Average PSNR -5.21 / 0.01 / 3.30
Overall PSNR -8.10 / -0.38 / 1.21
SSIM -7.38 / -0.11 / 3.17
(note: most values here were close to the mean, there were a few
outliers on files that were very sensitive to golden frame size)
Two pass VBR:
Min / Mean / Max (pct)
Average PSNR 0.00 / 0.00 / 0.00
Overall PSNR 0.00 / 0.00 / 0.00
SSIM 0.00 / 0.00 / 0.00
Neither one pass or two pass CBR mode adheres particularly strictly
to the short term buffer constraints, and two pass is less
consistent, even in the baseline commit. This should be addressed
in a later commit. This likely will hurt the quality numbers, as it
will have to reduce the burstiness of golden frames.
Aside: My work on this commit makes it clear that we need to make
rate control modes "pluggable", where you can easily write a new
one or work on one in isolation.

Currently, hex search couldn't guarantee the motion vector(MV)
found is within the limit of maximum MV. Therefore, very large
motion vectors resulted from big motion in the video could cause
encoding artifacts. This change adjusted hex search bounds
checking to make sure the resulted motion vector won't go out
of the range. James Berry, thank you for finding the bug.

Declared the bmi in BLOCKD as a union instead of B_MODE_INFO.
Then removed B_MODE_INFO completely.

This is basically a slightly modified version of the previous patch,
and it has a moderately positive effect (SSIM/PSNR both +0.08% avg
on derf-set). Most clips show no change, except waterfall/coastguard,
each ~ +0.8% SSIM/PSNR. You can see similar effects in other clips
by shortening their length to terminate at a very short last group
of frames.

this commit makes the usage errorperbit and sadperbit consistent for
encoding modes and passes. Removed all different magic weight factors
associated with errorperbit. Now 1/2 is used for both sadperbit16 and
sadperbit4, the /2 operation is merged into initializations of the 2
variables.
Tests on cif set show .23%, 0.18% and 0.19% gain by avg psnr, overall
psnr and ssim respectively.

The fb_idx_ref_cnt book-keeping was in error. Added an assert to
prevent future errors in the reference count vector. Also fixed a
pointer syntax error.
