The video itself is just laggy and poor quality. I have it working in MPC-HC (private test build). No drops.
Benchmark in GraphStudioNext gives 32fps. It seems to be single threaded by default. Need to check compile options later. |

I wonder how conducive AV1 is to decoding by GPU OpenCL, certainly seems like the ideal way to go prior to ASIC decoders being integrated into SoC's and GPU's. Presumably some of the hardware input from companies like AMD, nVidia and Intel covered this?

I see only about 5% CPU usage on my i7 6700k. Upon reviewing a bit more there are some frame drops happening, so there's still work to do here for sure.
The quality is rough, but it's 500 Kbps, so quite impressive TBH. Last edited by Blue_MiSfit; 26th July 2018 at 19:48. |

I realize that, back when HSA and hUMA were introduced, AMD only had APUs using the sub-par "Bulldozer" architecture and its evolutions - this meant there wasn't exactly much interest in tailoring software towards AMD CPUs at the time, but Ryzen is definitely a completely different beast. Now obviously this would only work on Ryzen APUs, but that's not exactly an issue on laptops when all mobile Ryzen chips are APUs anyway (not counting those uber-performance laptops that use a full-fat AM4 desktop Ryzen CPU). Besides, I would imagine that most non-APU Ryzen processors could at least "brute-force" their way via the abundance of CPU cores and threads to decode the video stream (assuming that AV1 decoding could be made to take advantage of that many threads). ...of course, this assumes that Ryzen APUs even support HSA and hUMA. I mean, AMD hasn't mentioned anything about them for a while now, so who knows? EDIT: I was reading through some of the older posts in this thread and I just had to respond to this: Quote:
So no, not 20 years ago. And AVX isn't supported on even the newest Sky/Kaby/Coffee Lake-based Pentium and Celeron CPUs either (and no, I don't mean the low-power Atom-based Celerons & Pentiums), including the ever-popular 2c/4t Pentium CPUs like the G4560 and G5400.

Too bad. If things wen the other way around it could have opened up a bunch of algorithms to use together. Intel (ARM) would have been forced to follow and we might have some pretty cool stuff by now. Maybe we'd be at a brink of two layer CPU+GPU APUs. |

Slow motion parts have very good quality (considering it's 1080p@550k). However high motion moment is looking ugly. Rate-control isn't well tuned, I guess. |

That's why I mentioned the whole "Bulldozer was a bit sub-par", because as Itanium proved, devs aren't really going to develop for something that's fast at new things if it's also a complete dog at old things.
And that's also why I mentioned Ryzen, because it's totally not a dog at all, and those Ryzen APUs are arguably even more competitive in mobile (at least if you ignore those 6core Intel parts, but I would be very surprised if mobile Zen2-based APUs weren't also sporting at least 6 cores). But again, I have literally no idea if Ryzen APUs support HSA and hUMA, and I've even tried researching the subject. If there's any consolation, I imagine that any future AMD-powered console would support this functionality, and heck even Intel's renewed focus on graphics may result in something similar in the future.

Is it just me, or is the tuning of libaom stil way off?
It completely murders some darker and "flat" areas, where x265 retains a lot of detail Example (especially bottom right, from a 30s clip, same bitrate): http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/117597 Is there some optimization coming, that takes human perception into consideration and distributes bitrate accordingly?

I don't think it has any visual tuning yet, it's only being tuned for a variety of metrics. Also, AV1 uses golden frames (imho a bad legacy from vp9), so the frame quality varies quite considerably, so judging individual frames are not necessarily an accurate way to compare quality.

Any codec that smooths that much is obviously PSNR-tuned.
It was funny waking up this morning and seeing Monty log on to the IRC channel with, "'mornin. How close are we to 1.0?" Crackin' the whip. |

The Atom cores matter too though, IMHO. There is a huge number of devices with them and they actually improve a lot currently (Goldmont, Goldmont+), much more than Intel big cores. Yet they still keep only 128bit SIMD (SSE-SSE4) so it would really be good if the devs of important format's decoders took time to implement SSE* functions and not just AVX2 ones. After all, there is also a huge number of fast CPUs that don't have AVX2, like Sandy/Ivy Bridge CPUs a la i5-2500/2400 or i7-2600K. --------------------------- Hmm, BTW. Are there some good estimates as to what CPU will be needed for comfortable decoding of 4K content (24 - 30 fps) in AV1 with all bells and whistles of the format used? (10bit etc, all the compression tools on, high bitrates including spikes in motion, VBR with no streaming-style constraints...). With some sane headroom.

Off top:
For me, a poor man and an enthusiast, let's say novelties, in Central Europe the computer ages after five years. Then the computer for free throws into the bucket and begins the path of cost-effective recycling to Asia. For me, an inconceivable fact. I remember the times when Intel's new processors debuted on the market every two weeks. It was a market. The world is changing and for sure it isn't an era of Intel. https://linustechtips.com/main/topic...-512-aka-avx3/ Last edited by Jamaika; 30th July 2018 at 05:12. |

Granted, AV1 is much better in this regard than VP9, but this issue is still there. Last edited by Tommy Carrot; 30th July 2018 at 12:50. |
