_Float16 support was available on arm/aarch64 for a while, and with gcc 12 was enabled on x86 as long as SSE2 is supported. If the target arch supports f16c, gcc emits fairly efficient assembly, taking advantage of it. This is the case on x86-64-v3 or higher. Same goes on arm, which has native float16 support. On x86, without f16c, it emulates it in software using sse2 instructions. This has shown to perform rather poorly: _Float16 full SSE2 emulation: frame=50074 fps=848 q=-0.0 size=N/A time=00:33:22.96 bitrate=N/A speed=33.9x _Float16 f16c accelerated (Zen2, --cpu=znver2): frame=50636 fps=1965 q=-0.0 Lsize=N/A time=00:33:45.40 bitrate=N/A speed=78.6x classic half2float full software implementation: frame=49926 fps=1605 q=-0.0 Lsize=N/A time=00:33:17.00 bitrate=N/A speed=64.2x Hence an additional check was introduced, that only enables use of _Float16 on x86 if f16c is being utilized. On aarch64, a similar uplift in performance is seen: RPi4 half2float full software implementation: frame= 6088 fps=126 q=-0.0 Lsize=N/A time=00:04:03.48 bitrate=N/A speed=5.06x RPi4 _Float16: frame= 6103 fps=158 q=-0.0 Lsize=N/A time=00:04:04.08 bitrate=N/A speed=6.32x Since arm/aarch64 always natively support 16 bit floats, it can always be considered fast there. I'm not aware of any additional platforms that currently support _Float16. And if there are, they should be considered non-fast until proven fast. |

FFmpeg README
FFmpeg is a collection of libraries and tools to process multimedia content such as audio, video, subtitles and related metadata.
Libraries
libavcodec
provides implementation of a wider range of codecs.libavformat
implements streaming protocols, container formats and basic I/O access.libavutil
includes hashers, decompressors and miscellaneous utility functions.libavfilter
provides means to alter decoded audio and video through a directed graph of connected filters.libavdevice
provides an abstraction to access capture and playback devices.libswresample
implements audio mixing and resampling routines.libswscale
implements color conversion and scaling routines.
Tools
- ffmpeg is a command line toolbox to manipulate, convert and stream multimedia content.
- ffplay is a minimalistic multimedia player.
- ffprobe is a simple analysis tool to inspect multimedia content.
- Additional small tools such as
aviocat
,ismindex
andqt-faststart
.
