Lynne a387d21c32 ffv1enc_vulkan: encode range coded slices as a single subgroup
A range coded slice is encoded by a workgroup of 32 invocations, but
only the first one ran the range coder, on a coder state and context
states kept in shared memory, with two barriers per sample.

The slice is now encoded by a single subgroup. Each invocation holds
one of the 32 states of the current context, and the range coder runs
on uniform values, in a new encoder section of rangecoder_subgroup.glsl.
A decision reads its state from the invocation that holds it and
updates it there, so no barriers are needed. The coder keeps the top of
its interval instead of the bottom, which coding a one leaves unchanged.
The line cache of the range coded encoder is kept per invocation, as in
the decoder, and subgroups of 32 invocations are required.

The output is unchanged. Encoding a 6464x4852 16-bit RGB frame with
1024 slices on an RX 6900 XT, with the frame in VRAM, goes from
202.5/178.5 ms to 179.0/154.9 ms with context model 1/0.

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 and qt-faststart.
