[pulseaudio-discuss] [PATCH 2/2] core: Add ARM NEON optimized sample conversion code

Peter Meerwald pmeerw at pmeerw.net
Tue Oct 23 08:54:58 PDT 2012


From: Peter Meerwald <p.meerwald at bct-electronic.com>

v4:
* fix for sample length < 4
v3:
* convert from intrinsics to inline assembly
v2:
* load and store data with vld1/vld1q and vst1/vst1q, resp., to work
  around alignment issues of compiler-generated vldmia instruction
* remove redundant check for NEON flags

Ubuntu/Linaro gcc 4.6.3
arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc -O2 -mcpu=cortex-a8 -mfloat-abi=softfp -mfpu=neon

runtime on beagle-xm:

D: [pulseaudio] sconv_neon.c: checking NEON sconv_s16le_from_float
I: [pulseaudio] sconv_neon.c: NEON: 3754 usec.
I: [pulseaudio] sconv_neon.c: ref: 58594 usec.
D: [pulseaudio] sconv_neon.c: checking NEON sconv_s16le_to_float
I: [pulseaudio] sconv_neon.c: NEON: 1831 usec.
I: [pulseaudio] sconv_neon.c: ref: 10528 usec.
I: [pulseaudio] sconv_neon.c: Initialising ARM NEON optimized conversions.

conversion may be off by one for some samples due to rounding issues
