This commit added a field to vpx_image_t for indicating color space,
the field is also added to YUV_BUFFER_CONFIG. This allows the color

of matching color space to ensure the color space information to be

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:
