FFmpeg Lands AES-NI Optimized Implementation For Big Speed-Up
FFmpeg is known for carrying a lot of hand-optimized Assembly code for speeding up this widely-used multimedia library and taking advantage of AVX-512 and other modern CPU ISA capabilities
FFmpeg is known for carrying a lot of hand-optimized Assembly code for speeding up this widely-used multimedia library and taking advantage of AVX-512 and other modern CPU ISA capabilities. In any event the performance results from this AES-NI optimized code are quite exciting for AMD/Intel systems if you are dealing with encrypted AES video buffers within FFmpeg. This AES-NI libavutil path is also comparable to gcrypt and other AES crypto implementations too.About The AuthorMichael Larabel is the principal author of Phoronix.com and founded the site in 2004 with a focus on enriching the Linux hardware experience.
