[Intel-gfx] VAAPI GM45 benchmarks

[Niccolò Belli]

New patches, new benchmarks
Now testing http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libva/ g45-h264 branch + patches 
from vaapi/intel-driver 
(http://cgit.freedesktop.org/vaapi/in...og/?h=g45-h264).

Here are the 5 patches:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/vaapi/in...4196ebd239bb87
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/vaapi/in...2f342e4fcd13a9
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/vaapi/in...a2bfa2ce06fa19
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/vaapi/in...a5e036d622cbb7
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/vaapi/in...87c47d821a4669


The cpu:
model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU U9400 @ 1.40GHz
stepping : 6
cpu MHz : 1401.000

The sample video (89 seconds, 80 MB): 
http://download3.dvdloc8.com/trailer...um_trailer.zip

Video Type: 1920×816 (1080p), 23.967 FPS, CE-Baseline profile (PS3 and 
Xbox 360 compatible)




Multi threaded decoding:

mplayer2 -vc ffh264 -lavdopts threads=3 -benchmark -nosound <file>

Time elapsed: 28.313s



Single threaded decoding:

mplayer2 -vc ffh264 -lavdopts threads=1 -benchmark -nosound <file>

Time elapsed: 38.774s



vaapi with patches (kwin desktop effects ON):

mplayer -vo vaapi -va vaapi -benchmark -nosound <file>

Time elapsed: 66.489s



vaapi with patches (kwin desktop effects OFF):

mplayer -vo vaapi -va vaapi -benchmark -nosound <file>

Time elapsed: 55.239s



Much, much better but still slower than single threaded decoding, not 
talking about multi threaded...
I did not test it with Swapbufferwaits Off, because it's meant to avoid 
tearing and nobody wants to disable it while watching videos.
Anyway the whole graphic stack was the latest and the greatest from git. 
I will test it with a more demanding source (high bitrate blu ray rips).

Cheers,
Darkbasic
