Over four months, Szabolcs Szakacs developed and optimized ARM64 NEON-accelerated audio and video processing features for the ossrs/ffmpeg-webrtc and FFmpeg/FFmpeg repositories. He implemented vectorized routines and dot-product optimizations in Assembly and C, targeting AAC encoding, color space conversions, and VVC decoding. His work included refactoring core DSP and scaling functions, introducing NEON intrinsics for throughput gains, and streamlining DMVR and BDOF paths for real-time workloads. By focusing on low-level performance tuning and maintainability, Szabolcs delivered measurable speedups and reduced CPU usage, enhancing ARM-based device support and laying a foundation for future improvements in embedded multimedia pipelines.
