Some performance number make sense for the commit message imo.

The function pointers which point to ff_me_cmp_sad() should point to SIMD
code in the optimized case.
there should be no check per call

Thanks the suggestion, will move the check in ff_me_init_context to
avoid the check per call in ff_me_cmp_sad

Does it make sense to improve this code? I thought a superior and faster 
approach was a result of 2017 GSOC task:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Hyh_rxP1KGsVkg7i7yU8Bcv92z0LIL4r-axpoKfvMFk/edit

Maybe that code should be merged back, and any further optimalization 
should be done based on that code, no?

Thanks,
Marton

Hi, Marton:

Yes, now I try to improve the minterpolate, and after use perf
profiing the commands:

./ffmpeg -i a.ts -filter_complex
"minterpolate=mi_mode=mci:mc_mode=aobmc:vsbmc=1" -f null /dev/null
I found the hotspot is:
- get_sbad_ob
- get_sbad
- get_sad_ob
- bilateral_obmc
- set_frame_data

So, as my plan, I will try to use sse2/avx2
Scatter/Gather, optimized
sad function (use pixelutils API)
 in  get_sbad_ob /  get_sbad /  get_sad_ob first, for  set_frame_data
case, maybe need to use Scatter/Gather SIMD instruction.

But if some guys have done some improve task in this case, I think
based on the pre-existing work is the better way.

BTW: I have tried to use SIMD to improve the blend data path (like a
command: ./ffmpeg -i a.ts -filter_complex
"minterpolate=mi_mode=blend:scd=fdiff:scd_threshold=1" -f null
/dev/null ), after the SIMD improve, the fps increae about 100% (from
30fps to 60fps in 1080P)

That is great, all I am saying we should avoid diverging the two brances 
(FFmpeg branch, and GSOC 2017 branch), and try to merge back 
GSOC2017 if it can be done with reasonable amount of work before 
optimizing code, otherwise the GSOC2017 branch will rot and we will lose 
the result of the GSOC task.

Michael was the mentor, maybe he can chip in on what should be done here.

talk with the author/student who wrote the code, not me :)

Well, his not active here, and the question is if his work is ready for 
mainline inclusion or not, and if he has done enough valuable work during 
GSOC that its worth working on mainlining it.

yes but last i heared from him, he was interrested in continuing this project
i think ive not heared much from him after that but i now see that there is a
small commit in his repo from 2018 so he is not completely inactive.
I think you should talk with him

He certainly did valuable work. Looking now at the ML, it seems the more or
less last thing on the ML was the RFC/Discussion thread about libmotion.
In that everyone wanted to dictate the design, and all that was contradicting
each other. 
If you want to work on unifying this entangled bikeshed ball of conflicting
oppinions, that surely is very welcome. Important is that it ends in something
that is practical and high quality.
Personally i think the author should be given more authority in the design.
But again, please talk with the author of this code
I dont remember everything in as much detail about this ...

also ive added him to the CC

Thanks

Now the minterpolate/libmotion auther didn't give a feedback or
sugesstion, so I will update patch 1/2  (just add SSE2/AVX2 sad_32x32)
with some perf data and hold on the patch 3 about minterpolate, any
other comments?
Thanks.

I checked the "libmotion" series, and it seems they are in 
debug/development state and the commits are not clean, so some heavy 
refactoring is needed before applying them anyway.

Do what you prefer, snow codec based motion compenstaion is an additional 
algorithm to the existing code anyway as far as I see.

As my point, I prefer  improve current minterpolate filter first, then
we can try to refactor the  "libmotion" series, Done Is Better Than
Perfect, any other comments or suggestion?
