A possible, eventual solution for H264 and VPX decoding - Raion - 07-23-2020
I had a nice discussion recently with Axatax and it was pointed out to me by Axatax that Google made an H264 decoder for Android devices that has assembler routines that are powered by LLVM, including MIPS.
What this means is that we can eventually investigate this tech once we have LLVM on IRIX. Sadly, I don't see ANY other way to really decode LLVM fast enough unless someone wants to try using floating point-type casts in OpenH264 or x264. If I can get OpenH264 compiled though, I'm curious how its C does against x264's.
Shrug. I dunno. It's just a shame that I have to downsample stuff so much to use on IRIX. Wishful thinking and all that. LLVM would make our lives a lot better.
