Being wrong is fine. Being wrong and not admitting it when you're called out on it is pathetic.

Maybe you should start reading properly pal. Only ones laughing are clueless people. Because they don't understand a damn thing.

      SShock, 05 Nov 2022Just this post of yours proves YOU are the one not knowing ... moreMany people probably laugh at you and don't bother to educate you. You've been digging your own grave and don't even realize it. The Hexagon DSP isn't an ASIC. It doesn't only do a single thing. Qualcomm provides an SDK for developers to use when developing their software. Developers can use the Hexagon DSP to process images, audio data, and video data. It isn't only for encoding videos. AMD VCE is an example of an ASIC. It's a hardware video encoder.

        [deleted post]Now I'm suppose to "take it easy". How about NO ? Everyone always "I was just joking" when they spew out absolute horsemanure repeatedly about something and someone dismisses their BS.

By your brilliant logic, PC's, the pinnacle of multitasking are somehow less multitasking than smartphones where you at most run 2 apps at once and the rest are just switching between them. You can realistically run 4-6 apps on single monitor and do work within them. Or quickly switch between them using taskbar. You're weird.

                                SShock, 04 Nov 2022Wow, you can read the brochure! You must be an expert then!... moreBy the way, this old article explains video encoding with multithreading very well: https://www.embedded.com/optimizing-video-encoding-using-threads-and-parallelism

                                "Parallelization of the H.264 Encoder
                                By exploiting thread-level parallelism at different levels, you can take advantage of potential opportunities to increase performance. To achieve the greatest speed increases over well-tuned sequential code on a processor with HT Technology, you should consider the following characteristics as you re-design the H.264 encoder for parallel programming:

                                * The criteria of choosing data or task partitions
                                * The judgments of thread granularity
                                * How the first implementation uses two slice queues
                                * How the second implementation uses one task queue

                                Task and Data Domain Decomposition
                                You can divide the H.264 encoding process into multiple threads using either functional decomposition or data-domain decomposition.

                                Functional decomposition. Each frame should experience a number of functional steps: motion estimation, motion compensation, integral transformation, quantization and entropy coding. The reference frames also need inverse qualification, inverse integral transformation, and filtering. These functions could be explored for opportunities to make these tasks parallel.

                                Data domain decomposition. As shown Figure 1 below , the H.264 encoder treats a video sequence as many groups of pictures (GOP). Each GOP includes a number of frames. Each frame is divided into slices. Each slice is an encoding unit and is independent of other slices in the same frame.

                                The slice can be further decomposed into a macroblock, which is the unit of motion estimation and entropy coding. Finally, the macroblock can be separated into block and sub-block units. All are possible places to parallelize the encoder."

                                Stop saying things you have no knowledge of and acting rudely when you get called out on it. Your behavior is disgusting.

LMAO All you did was plaster a whole paragraph of marketing speech without even understanding any of it. Yeah, denoiser may be multithreaded, but when you're encoding JPG, it'll be done on a single thread. Because JPG's are encoded that way and giving it 16 threads won't make it faster. Indeed, the more YOU speak, the more we see YOUR lack of any kind of knowledge.

                                    SShock, 03 Nov 2022Really? And what is encoding your videos? If you believe it... moreLow, rude, and ignorant. The more you say, the more you show your lack of knowledge. Qualcomm's processor is called Hexagon Digital Signal Processor (DSP), and it supports multithreading.

                                    "All versions of the Hexagon DSP core are hardware multi-threaded to enable superior concurrency needed in mobile applications. Implementations have evolved from simple Interleaved Multi-Threading (IMT) to more advanced prioritized scheduling to obtain the maximum efficiency to schedule as many execution slots as possible. The number of hardware threads has changed over the generations to meet various product and application needs. The initial Hexagon V1 core supported six threads, but the most recent version of Hexagon DSP, Hexagon V5 features three threads. To the programmer, these hardware threads can be considered as separate processor cores with shared memory, and are programmed using conventional software threading."
