Zaggy1024 8ad0dff5c2 LibVideo/VP9: Implement unscaled fast paths in inter prediction
Inter-prediction convolution filters are selected based on the
subpixel position determined for the motion vector relative to the
block being predicted. The subpixel position 0 only uses one single
sample in the center of the convolution, not averaging any other
samples. Let's call this a copy.

Reference frames can also be a different size relative to the frame
being predicted, but in almost every case, that scale will be 1:1
for every single frame in a video.

Taking into account these facts, we can create multiple fast paths for
inter prediction. These fast paths are only active when scaling is 1:1.

If we are doing a copy in both dimensions, then we can do a straight
memcpy from the reference frame to the output block buffer. In videos
where there is no motion, this is a dramatic speedup.

If we are doing a copy in one dimension, we can just do one convolution
and average directly into the output block buffer.

If we aren't doing a copy in either dimension, we can still cut out a
few operations from the convolution loops, since we only need to
advance our samples by whole pixels instead of subpixels.

These fast paths result in about a 34% improvement (~31.2s -> ~20.6s)
in a video which relies heavily on intra-predicted blocks due to high
motion. In videos with less motion, the improvement will be even
greater.

Also, note that the accumulators in these faster loops are only 16-bit.
High bit-depth videos will overflow those, so for now the fast path is
only used for 8-bit videos.

About

SerenityOS is a love letter to '90s user interfaces with a custom Unix-like core. It flatters with sincerity by stealing beautiful ideas from various other systems.

Roughly speaking, the goal is a marriage between the aesthetic of late-1990s productivity software and the power-user accessibility of late-2000s *nix. This is a system by us, for us, based on the things we like.

You can watch videos of the system being developed on YouTube:

How do I read the documentation?

Man pages are available online at man.serenityos.org. These pages are generated from the Markdown source files in Base/usr/share/man and updated automatically.

When running SerenityOS you can use man for the terminal interface, or help for the GUI.

Code-related documentation can be found in the documentation folder.

How do I build and run this?

See the SerenityOS build instructions. Serenity runs on Linux, macOS (aarch64 might be a challenge), Windows (with WSL2) and many other *Nixes with hardware or software virtualization.
