Over a three-month period, contributed advanced performance optimizations to the libsdl-org/aom repository, focusing on RISC-V platforms with RVV vector extensions. Developed and integrated RVV-aware features such as architecture and CPU detection, RVV-accelerated CDEF, and high-bit-depth convolution paths to enhance AV1 video codec throughput. Leveraged C, Assembly, and CMake to implement new vectorized utilities and update build systems for seamless RVV support. The work enabled broader hardware compatibility and improved video encoding and decoding efficiency on RV64 devices, laying a foundation for future vector-based optimizations and benchmarking on embedded RISC-V systems without introducing new bugs.

Month: 2025-05 — Delivered vectorized optimization work for the AOM library on RISC-V with RVV. Implemented RVV-accelerated 2D convolution paths for video encoding/decoding (convolve_2d, convolve_x, convolve_y, convolve_2d_intrabc), added new RVV implementation C files, and updated build configurations to enable the RVV path. This work targets higher throughput for media workloads on RVV-capable hardware and aligns with broader performance targets for video pipelines.
