This patch allows the encoder to skip the search for partition
SPLIT, HORZ, VERT after the search for partition NONE is done
in RD optimization. It uses the first pass block-wise statistics
to make the decision. If all 16x16 blocks in the current partition
have zero motions and small residues from the frist pass statistics,
and it has small difference variance, further partition search is
skipped.
For speed 2 setting, experiments on general youtube clips show that
the speedup varies from 1% - 10%, 5% on average. On the performance
side in PSNR, derf 0.004%, yt -0.059%, hd -0.106%, stdhd 0.032%.
For hard stdhd clips:
park_joy_1080p, 502952 ms -> 503307 ms (-0.07%)
pedestrian_area_1080p, 227049 ms -> 220531 ms (+3%)
This feature is under the compilation flag CONFIG_FP_MB_STATS and
it is off in current setting.

This commit enables a chessboard pattern constrained partition
search for 720p and above resolutions. The scheme applies stricter
partition search to alternative blocks based on its above/left
neighboring blocks' partition range, as well as that of the
collocated blocks in the previous frame. It is currently turned
on at 16x16 block size level. The chessboard pattern is flipped
per coding frame.
The speed 3 runtime is reduced:
park_joy_1080p, 652832 ms -> 607738 ms (7% speed-up)
pedestrian_area_1080p, 215998 ms -> 200589 ms (8% speed-up)

The issue was introduced by commit g9f37d14 with adding explicit
restrictions on reference-frame scale factors. The restriction
is checked against aligned-by-8 frame dimensions, not against
original ones. So, for example, frame of 35×35 actually can refer
to frame of 70×70, but the new check won't allow this. It will
compare 35 vs 72 (not 70), so 2x downscale limit will be exceeded.

This commit extends the chessboard pattern prediction filter search.
If the above and left blocks have the same prediction filter type,
the encoder will skip the prediction filter type search and use the
reference one.
The overall chessboard pattern prediction filter type search reduces
speed 3 runtime for hard clips. Experiments on park joy at 1080p
and 15000 kbps show that the runtime goes from 723265 ms to 65832 ms,
i.e., about 10% speed-up. Compression performance wise, it affects
the coding quality by

This commit enables a chessboard pattern prediction filter type
search scheme for rate-distortion optimization speed-up. For the
inferred motion vector modes, the encoder can re-use its above/left
neighbor blocks' prediction filter type and skip a full test on
all possible filter types. Such operation is turned on/off
alternatively in a chessboard manner.
It is turned on in speed 3. For test clip pedestrian 1080p, the
runtime is reduced from 231500 ms -> 221700 ms. The compression

For real time speed 7, once encode breakout is on(i.e. encoding
setting --static-thresh=1), a proper encode breakout threshold
is set to speed up the encoder.
Set --static-thresh=1, RTC set borg test showed a slight overall
psnr loss of 0.162%, but ssim gain of 0.287%. The average speedup
on RTC set is 6%, and for some clips, the speedup can be 10+%.

Before encoding a frame, calculate and store each 16x16 block's
variance of source difference between last and current frame.
Find partitioning threshold T for the frame from its variance
histogram, and then use T to make partition decisions.
Comparing with fixed 16x16 partitioning, rtc set test showed an
overall psnr gain of 3.242%, and ssim gain of 3.751%. The best
psnr gain is 8.653%.
The overall encoding speed didn't change much. It got faster for
some clips(for example, 12% speedup for vidyo1), and a little
slower for others.
Also, a minor modification was made in datarate unit test.

This commit enables an adaptive transform size selection method
for speed -6. It uses largest transform size when the sse is more

This patch allows the encoder to skip the partition search for the
frame if it is an inter frame and only zero motion vectors have
been detected in the first pass. The partition size is directly
assigned according to the difference variance.
Borg tests show overall little performance changes in term of PSNR
(derf -0.027%, yt 0.152%, hd 0.078%, stdhd 0%). The worst case of
PSNR loss is -0.514% from yt. The best PSNR gain is 4.293% from yt.
The second pass encoding speedup for slideshow clips is 15%-40%.

This commit enables a fast reference motion vector search scheme.
It checks the nearest top and left neighboring blocks to decide the
most probable predicted motion vector. If it finds the two have
the same motion vectors, it then skip finding exterior range for
the second most probable motion vector, and correspondingly skips
the check for NEARMV.

The encoder currently allocates frame buffers before
it establishes what the chroma sub-sampling factor is,
always allocating based on the 4:4:4 format.
This patch detects the chroma format as early as

Future patches will change the encoder to allocate
frame buffers on demand to further reduce the memory
profile of the encoder and rationalize the buffer
management in the encoder and decoder.

A superframe is a bunch of frames that bundled as one frame. It is mostly
used to combine one or more non-displayable frames and one displayable frame.
For frame parallel decoding, libvpx decoder will only support decoding one
normal frame or a super frame with superframe index.
If an application pass a superframe without superframe index or a chunk
of displayable frames without superframe index to libvpx decoder, libvpx
will not decode it in frame parallel mode. But libvpx decoder still could
decode it in serial mode.

The current decoding scheme will decrease the reference count
of the output frame when finish decoding. Then the application
could copy the frame from the decoder buffer to application buffer.
In frame-parallel decoding, a decoded frame will not be outputted
until several frames later which depends on thread numbers. So
the decoded frame's reference count should be decreased only
after application finish copying the frame out. But due to the
limitation of vpx_codec_get_frame, decoder could not know when
application finish decoding. So use a index last_show_frame to
release the last output frame's reference count.

In non frame-parallel decoding, this works the same way as
current decoding scheme. Every time after decoder finish
decoding a frame, it will swap the current mode info pointer
and previous mode info pointer if the decoded frame needs
to be shown. Both mode info pointer and previous mode info
pointer are from mode info arrays.
In frame-parallel decoding, this will become more complicated
as current frame's mode info pointer will be shared with next
frame as previous mode info pointer. But when one decoder
thread finishes decoding one frame and starts to work on next
available frame, it needs to retain the decoded frame's mode
info pointers until next frame finishes decoding. The mode info
index will serve this purpose. The decoder will use different
buffer in the mode info arrays and use the other buffer to save
previous decoded frame’s mode info.

LONG_TERM_VBR_CORRECTION.

As mismatchs were found between the intrinsic version and c only. The
commit temporarily revert to use the matching assembly version to
allow further investigation.

Use the appropriate subblock offset mode info rather than the parent
block base, when filling mbmi in the pc tree in nonrd_use_partition.
This mimics what is done in the vertical case and what is done for
both cases in nonrd_pick_partition.
This change has little practical effect at the moment since in speed 5
rt horizontal and vertical partitions are currently only used unpaired
at edges of the picture.

This did the same correction as the one in commit "Correct ssse3
8/16-pixel wide sub-pixel filter calculation" to avoid saturation
during filtering.

If we are already saving a lot in bits from the target (maximum)
bitrate in the constrained quality mode, allow the quantizer
to go lower than the cq level. This hopefully will solve issues
with getting too low a bitrate and consequently poor quality for
certain videos in cq mode.

Renames all x86_64 specific assembly files to consistently
end in _x86_64.asm. This will be useful for build systems to
handle these files differently.
All new 64-bit specific assembly files should use the new
naming convention.

This commit changed to enable the encoder to adjust motion dection
speed threshold based on picture size. In addition, cpu-used 1 now
does a partition search every other frame instead of every third
frame for low resolution inputs.
The change has no quality/speed impact for 720p and above. Test
showed the change increase encoding time by between 3% to 6% for
cpu-used 2 encodiong of 360p sequences. It also has a compression
gain about .3%.
For cpu-used 2, the change resolved some very disturbing visual
artifacts in certain sequences when large block partitionings and
transforms are used as a result of copying the partition from a
previous frame.

The final goal is eventually to get rid of both itxm_add and fwd_txm4x4.
This patch does it in the decoder.

The current decode_tiles decodes the frame one tile by one tile
and then loopfilter the whole frame or use another worker thread to
do loopfiltering.
|------|------|------|------|
|Tile1-|Tile2-|Tile3-|Tile4-|
|------|------|------|------|
For example, if a tile video has one row and four cols, decode_tiles
will decode the Tile1, then Tile2, then Tile3, then Tile4.
And during decode each tile, decode_tile will decode row by row in
each tile.
For frame parallel decoding, decode_tiles will decode video in row order
across the tiles. So the order will be:
"Decode 1st row of Tile1" -> "Decode 1st row of Tile2"
-> "Decode 1st row of Tile3" -> "Decode 1st row of Tile4"
-> "Decode 2nd row of Tile1" -> "Decode 2nd row of Tile2"
-> "Decode 2nd row of Tile3" -> "Decode 2nd row of Tile4"-> "loopfilter 1st row"

This commit adjusts the forward 16x16 DCT computation steps to
simplify the register level operations. It fixes the corresponding
sse2 version accordingly.

Added a skipping test in non-rd inter-mode. After interpolation
prediction step, the residuals are tested to see if they will be
quantized to 0 based on modeling between spatial domain and
frequency domain.
Set static-thresh to 800 for >=720p and 300 for <720p, rtc set
tests showed
1. Speed 5, psnr: -0.514%; ssim: -1.748%;
speedup on related clips: 5% -11%
2. Speed 6, psbr: -0.628%; ssim: -1.637%;
speedup on related clips: 4% - 9%
