New AVX2 Code Helps FFmpeg With VVC Decoding Performance
A new AVX2 code path for FFmpeg's VVC decoding 'vvcdec' is helping provide significant speed-ups for CPU-based H.266 decoding.
Open-source developer Nuo Mi has landed new optical flow AVX2 code for FFmpeg's VVC decode support within libavcodec. Advanced Vector Extensions 2 as a reminder has been around since Intel Haswell and AMD Excavator, allowing any remotely recent AMD / Intel processor to benefit from this faster VVC decode. Those curious about this new AVX2 optimization for the VVC decode in FFmpeg can see this commit for the details.
