Title: VP9 benchmarks: have they improved?
Post by: pocock on June 05, 2020, 12:12:38 pm

One of the top search results for VP9 benchmarks is this OpenBenchmarking.org site (https://openbenchmarking.org/showdown/pts/vpxenc-3.0.0) where POWER9 is the slowest with 9.37 frames per second (less than real time).  Even the Intel i3 achieves 28.38 fps (better than real time).

Has this code been fixed and does anybody know how to get fresh results in that site?  I think it is very unfair to the platform when search engines show something like that if it is no longer valid.

On the other hand, if it is not fixed, has anybody proposed a bounty for working on it?  IBM is asking people to suggest issues that they will fund (https://www.bountysource.com/teams/ibm/issue_suggestions/new)

This blog post (https://medium.com/@luc.trudeau/av1-opportunity-or-threat-for-power-and-arm-servers-6871007ad99e) gives some detailed discussion about VPX / VP9 / VP8 as it relates to POWER9 and other platforms.
