Optimizing 2 functions to process 32 elements in parallel instead of 16:
1. vp9_sub_pixel_variance64x64
2. vp9_sub_pixel_variance32x32
both of those function were calling vp9_sub_pixel_variance16xh_ssse3
instead of calling that function, it calls vp9_sub_pixel_variance32xh_avx2
that is written in avx2 and process 32 elements in parallel.
This Optimization gave 70% function level gain and 2% user level gain

Optimizing all SSSE3 assembly for convolution:
1. vp9_filter_block1d4_h8_sse2
2. vp9_filter_block1d8_h8_sse2
3. vp9_filter_block1d16_h8_sse2
4. vp9_filter_block1d4_v8_sse2
5. vp9_filter_block1d8_v8_sse2
6. vp9_filter_block1d16_v8_sse2
my optimization include:
-processing 2x8 elements in one 128 bit register instead of processing
8 elements in one 128 bit register.
-removing unecessary loads.
This optimization gives between 2.4% user level gain for 480p input
and 1.6% user level gain for 720p.
This Optimization is done only for 64 bit

Added support for external frame buffers to libvpx's VP9 decoder.
If the external frame buffer functions are set then libvpx will
call the get function whenever it needs a new frame buffer to
decode a frame into. And it will call the release function
whenever there are no more references to that buffer.

Prior to this commit, both encoder and decoder reset mode/mv info from
previous frame in error resilient mode to ensure bitstreams are able to
decode when there is loss of frame in decoder side. However, this is
not necessary. This commit changed to remove the reset, so encoder can
continue to use mode/mv/partition information from previously encoded
frame without affecting decodeablilty under loss of frame.

Two convolve functions were optimized for AVX2:
1. vp9_filter_block1d16_h8
2. vp9_filter_block1d16_v8
vp9_filter_block1d16_v8 was optimized for AVX2 by reducing the number of
loop strides by half, two strides were processed in parallel.
vp9_filter_block1d16_v8 was also optimized in the same way also some of the
loads were being done outside of the loop and by that preventing redundant
loads.
This Optimization gives 43% function level gain and 1.3% user level gain.
Now can be compiled in Windows

This CL changes libvpx to call a function when a frame buffer
is needed for decode. Libvpx will call a release callback when
no other frames reference the frame buffer. This CL adds a
default implementation of the frame buffer callbacks. Currently
only VP9 is supported. A future CL will add support for
applications to supply their own frame buffer callbacks.

Implemented parallel loopfiltering, which uses existing tile-
decoding threads. Each thread works on one row, and when that row
is loopfiltered, it moves to next unattended row. To ensure the
correct filtering order, threads are synchronized and one
superblock is filtered only if the superblocks it depends on are
filtered already.
To reduce synchronization overhead and speed up the decoder, we use
nsync > 1 for high resolution.
Performance tests:
1. on desktop:
8-tile 4k video using 8 threads, speedup: 70% - 80%
4-tile HD video using 4 threads, speedup: ~35%
2. on mobile device(Nexus 7):
4-tile 1080p video using 4 threads, speedup: 18% - 25%
4-tile 1080p video using 2 threads, speedup: 10% - 15%

This patch only works if the video is a width and height that are both
a multiple of 32.. It sets every partition to 16x16, and does INTRADC
only on the first frame and ZEROMV on every other frame. It always does
does the largest possible transform, and loop filter level is set to 4.
Was ~20% faster than speed -5 of vp8
Now 20% slower but adds motion search ( every block ), nearest, near
and zeromv
The SVC test was changed because - while this realtime mode produces
bad quality albeit quickly, it isn't obeying all the rules it should
about which frames are available.

This commit is the first patch optimizing SSE2 implementation of inverse
16x16 DCT with <10 non-zero coefficients. It focused on the first 1-D (row)
transformation. It exploits the fact that only top-left 4x4 block contains
non-zero coefficients, in a 2-D inverse 16x16 DCT with <10 coeffients.
The average runtime of idct16x16_10 unit is reduced from
883 cycles -> 779 cycles (12% faster).
For pedestrian_area_1080p 300 frames at 4000 kbps, the speed 2 runtime goes
down from 310651 ms -> 305910 ms. The decoding speed goes up from
80.37 fps -> 80.87 fps.

some of the functions were optimized by processing 32 elements instead of 16.
some of the functions were optimized by processing 2 loop strides of 16

This commit optimizes the SSE2 implmentation of idct8x8_10. It exploits
the fact that only top-left 4x4 block contains non-zero coefficients,
and hence reduces the instructions needed.
The runtime of idct8x8_10_sse2 goes down from 216 to 198 CPU cycles,
estimated by averaging over 100000 runs. For pedestrian_area_1080p 300
