[opus] OPUS on embedded platforms

[Hoene]

Hi Mike,

do you have any idea to shrink the size of the tables? Maybe, one can put
them in external memory if a particular coding mode is not required?
Or do any smart compression...

With best regards,

 Christian

Timothy, Jean-Marc, et al,

I would very much like to see an "embedded" version of Opus developed that
is optimized for small size and much higher performance (at least on the
CELT side of the codec). I am using V.8 of CELT which takes about 60MIPS
(encode) and 40MIPS (decode) of a TI C5515 100MHz DSP. I have tried to
squeeze Opus into a C55xx but the size of the code has grown to the point
where it requires external memory. Since the C55xx does not have cache, the
performance is not usable. 

I would imagine that there is a large potential user base of an
embedded-specific code base.

Just as a point of reference, a fixed-point build running complexity 10 
encode+decode of 48 kHz stereo in CELT mode at 64 kbps is 3.3x realtime
on my 600 MHz Cortex A8 (which is not an Mx, but should at least give you
something to compare to). There's still substantial room for
platform-specific optimizations here.

Which AAC? HE-AAC requires well over 3 times as much CPU as LC-AAC.
