[vlc-devel] [PATCH 1/1] deinterlace: arm64 NEON merge asm

Janne Grunau janne-vlc at jannau.net
Tue Aug 9 23:37:29 CEST 2016


Approximately factor 2 faster.

Also adds build system support / cpu "detection" for arm64 neon.
Advanced SIMD (neon) is mandatory for general purpose ARMv8-a CPU so the
CPU feature detection is a constant 1.
