Investigate opus build optimizations for ARM non-FP (Raspberry, Android, iOS)

Open hoffie opened this issue 2 years ago • 6 comments

What is the current behaviour and why should it be changed?

There are hints that it might make sense to set specific opus build flags to improve performance on low-spec arm builds (Raspberry, Android, iPhone):

https://github.com/jamulussoftware/jamulus/blob/master/distributions/raspijamulus.sh#L53

Describe possible approaches

[ ] Find out if it's worth it (run benchmarks, do research, e.g. https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/545/does-the-raspberry-pi-have-hardware-floating-point-support/546#546)
[x] Find out how to make qmake enable those flags (maybe some defines?): -D FIXED_POINT
[ ] Implement
[ ] Consider dropping manual opus installation in raspijamulus.sh?

Has this feature been discussed and generally agreed?

No.

Looks like a -D FIXED_POINT might suffice based on opus' configure.ac. We could add that define in Jamulus.pro when building for armhf.

@ann0see We should probably investigate whether this might make sense for Android/iPhone as well. Might want an extra issue.

@hoffie do you think this should go into 3.9.0 or rather in the next release?

Moved to 3.9.1

Moving to 3.10.0 as it's notabug.

Nothing happening on the Android front. Moving to Triage and dropping the milestone.

Moving to 3.11.0 as I'm looking to get some movement on Android.
