[Vorbis-dev] [RFC PATCH v1 0/3] Introducing ARM SIMD Support

[Chris Moore]

Hi Vish,

I am very interested in your Vorbis optimisations.
Unfortunately I am not a NEON guru, nor even an ARM assembler one.
I had a quick look at your code and the only remark I have concerns the 
pseudo-code in comments.
In several places you write:
a[i] = a[i]*b[n-i-1] + a[i]*c[i]
but IMHO this should be:
a[i] = a[i]*b[n-i-1] + b[i]*c[i]

I have also done some work on Vorbis improvements, mainly to Tremor.
I posted some information on them to this list early this year, mainly 
in March.
Unfortunately nobody showed any interest in receiving patches :(
I shall be interested to see if anybody integrates yours.
Maybe we should be working on Opus ;-)

I am afraid that I have not tested your modifications.
For the moment I have been working on pure C code in the comfort of an 
x86_64 environment.
But I have oldish ARM hardware in mind as Tremor is really for 
architectures without hardware floating point.

Cheers,
Chris
