vp9_ethread: the tile-based multi-threaded encoder Currently, VP9 supports column-tile encoding, which allows a frame to be encoded in multiple column tiles independently. The number of column tiles are set by encoder option "--tile-columns". This provides a way to encode a frame in parallel. Based on previous set of patches, this patch implemented the tile- based multi-threaded encoder. Each thread processes one or more tiles. Usage: For HD clips: --tile-columns=2 --threads=1/2/3/4 While using 4 threads, tests showed that the encoder achieved 2.3X - 2.5X speedup at good-quality speed 3, and 2X speedup at realtime speed 5.
