this macro was used inconsistently and only differs in behavior from
DECLARE_ALIGNED when an alignment attribute is unavailable. this macro
is used with calls to assembly, while generic c-code doesn't rely on it,
so in a c-only build without an alignment attribute the code will
function as expected.

Impose a limit on the rd auto partition search based on
the image format. Smaller formats require that the search
includes includes a smaller minimum block size.
This change is intended to mitigate the visual impact of
ringing in some problem clips, for smaller image formats.

This experiment biases the rd decision based on the impact
a mode decision has on the relative spatial complexity of the
reconstruction vs the source.
The aim is to better retain a semblance of texture even if it
is slightly misaligned / wrong, rather than use a simple rd
measure that tends to favor use of a flat predictor if a perfect
match can't be found.
This improves the appearance of texture and visual quality
on specific test clips but is hidden under a flag and currently
off by default pending visual quality testing on a wider Yt set.

Use force_split to constrain the partition selection.
This is used because in the top-down approach to variance partition,
a block size may be selected even though one of its subblocks may have
high variance.
In this patch the selection of the 64x64 block size will only
be allowed if the variance of all the 32x32 subblocks are also below the threshold.
Stil testing, but some visual improvement for areas near slow moving boundary
can be seen. Metrics for RTC set increase by about ~0.5%.

This commit introduces a new block match motion estimation
using integral projection measurement. The 2-D block and the nearby
region is projected onto the horizontal and vertical 1-D vectors,
respectively. It then runs vector match, instead of block match,
over the two separate 1-D vectors to locate the motion compensated
reference block.
This process is run per 64x64 block to align the reference before
choosing partitioning in speed 6. The overall CPU cycle cost due
to this additional 64x64 block match (SSE2 version) takes around 2%
at low bit-rate rtc speed 6. When strong motion activities exist in
the video sequence, it substantially improves the partition
selection accuracy, thereby achieving better compression performance
and lower CPU cycles.

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

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

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.

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
provides a way to encode a frame in parallel.
Based on previous set of patches, this patch implemented the tile-
based multi-threaded encoder. Each thread processes one or more
tiles.
Usage:
For HD clips:
--tile-columns=2 --threads=1/2/3/4
While using 4 threads, tests showed that the encoder achieved
2.3X - 2.5X speedup at good-quality speed 3, and 2X speedup at

This patch modified struct VP9_COMP. Created a struct ThreadData
to include data that need to be copied for each thread. In
multiple thread case, one thread processes one tile. all threads
share one copy of VP9_COMP,
(refer to VP9_COMP *cpi in the code)
but each thread has its own copy of ThreadData,
(refer to ThreadData *td in the code).
Therefore, within the scope of encode_tiles(), both cpi and td
need to be passed as function parameters.
In single thread case, the FRAME_COUNTS pointer in ThreadData
points to "counts" in VP9_COMMON.

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.

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 will save a lot of memory for decoder due to removing of prev_mi,
but prev_mi is still needed in encoder. So this will increase a little bit
memory for encoder.

This commit makes the inter prediction buffer system to support
hybrid partition search. It reduces the runtime of speed -5 by
about 3%. No compression performance change.

The zero motion vector was effectively used in the subsampled pixel
based variance calculation. This commit makes it directly use zero
mv to generate prediction.

This speed feature has been deprecated in both yt and rtc coding
modes. This commit removes the related operations.

This commit re-designs the recursive partition search scheme in
rtc speed -5. It first checks if the current block is under cyclic
refresh mode. If so, apply recursive partition search. Otherwise,
perform sub-sampled pixel based partition selection. When the
pre-selection finds the partition size should be 32x32 or above,
use the partition size directly. Otherwise, apply partition search
at nearby levels around the preset partition size.
It is enabled in speed -5. The compression performance of rtc
speed -5 is improved by 9.4%. Speed wise, the run-time goes slower
from 1% to 10%.

Currently, the tokens for a tile are stored immediately after its
preceding tile, which causes a dependency. This is unnecessary
since we always allocate enough memory for tokens. Removing
the dependency allows token writing done in parallel. This patch
doesn't change encoding result.

Compare the estimated rate and distortion to the thresholds scaled
according to the operating block size and determine if further
split partition search will be run. The compression performance of
speed -5 is changed by -0.074%. The encoding speed is 10% - 15%
faster.

Reduce the intra_cost_penalty for non-rd mode,
and some updates to VAR_BASED_PARTITION.
Visual tests show some improvement at Speed 6, for RTC clips.

This commit replaces the use of copy_partitioning with
choose_partitioning based on the sse of subsamped pixels, which
provides significantly better coding performance and runs at
similar speed, as compared to copy_partitioning. It improves rtc
speed 5 coding performance by 3%.

This commit makes a struct that contains rate value, distortion
value, and the rate-distortion cost. The goal is to provide a
better interface for rate-distortion related operation. It is
first used in rd_pick_partition and saves a few RDCOST calculations.

The concept:
There's too much noise in source pixels for variance and at low bitrate
the reconstructed looks nothing like the source so we have problems
getting good partitionings with either. This skirts the issue by using
a box blur scaled down version for variance calculations. To compare
against source_var_ moved keyframe to be rd based like source_var.

The functions b_width_log2 and b_height_log2 only do direct
table fetch. This commit unifies such use cases by using the
table directly and removes these functions.

This commit adds proper initialization of segment id for variance AQ
mode in non-rd coding path. It fixes the enc/dec mismatch issue of
rt=7 with --aq-mode=1, as reported in issue #816

This commit enables the encoder to skip split partition search if
the bigger block size has all non-zero quantized coefficients in low
frequency area and the total rate cost is below a certain threshold.
It logarithmatically scales the rate threshold according to the
current block size. For speed 3, the compression performance loss:
derf -0.093%
stdhd -0.066%
Local experiments show 4% - 20% encoding speed-up for speed 3.

This patch re-enabled the feature in Pengchong's patch
(commit 1286126073). Originally, it
was turned on while use_lastframe_partitioning > 0(not used anymore).
Now it was added as a feature, and turned on while speed >= 2.
As described in the original patch, this feature helps speed up the
slideshows in YouTube.
