Salome Thirot developed and optimized ARM NEON-accelerated features for the libsdl-org/aom repository, focusing on AV1 video codec performance. She engineered SIMD and low-level optimizations in C and assembly, targeting loop filter and prediction paths to enhance encoding and decoding speed on ARM devices. Her work included refactoring NEON implementations for code reuse, introducing early exits, and optimizing memory access, while porting techniques from SVT-AV1 to align with industry best practices. Salome also simplified AArch64 SIMD logic for svt_compute_stats_win5_* step3, improving throughput and maintainability. Her contributions demonstrated deep expertise in performance-driven, maintainable video encoding solutions.
