« Posted 2003-11-09 22:12:58 »
I have finally reached a point in my development my current pet project of making a lossless video codec where i need to start thinking of optimizations.

Currently i amd working on the 'key frame' image compressor and have made a stable build which does compress reasonably well, however it is not as fast as i would like as i will eventually need it to be able to uncompress the image at 30 images per second.

I would like to hear some peoples opinons on how to go about optimizing my code.

according to JProfiler, 70% of the time is spend in my 'encode' method, which is to be expected. So optimizing this code would speed up the compression significantly.

Here is the encode method:

similarily, in the decompressor, the decode method takes most of the time and i would like to optimize it:

I can provide full source if it is necessary.

I do have some comments in my code, however it is not the best  Wink

Suggestion 1:  Move this to the performanc tuning topic. Your likely to get a lot more help Smiley

Next suggestion:  You are doing a LOT of arbitrary (non-deterministic) indexing into your frame array.  Thatrs likely costing you a lot.

My suggestion:  define some local variables to hold values like frame[k][0]  so you are only doing the indexing and resulting bounds check once per value.

originally i was going to put it there, however after viewing the topics there it seemed that people were giving optimized methods, not people asking for optimization help... but please do move this thread if i put it in the wrong place.

good point! I will do so. On the same lines, i think i might change all the local instance variables that are created each time encode is called to class member variables, so i dont have to create them each time.

If you are actaually creating objects with new then yeah you might want to reuse them.

If they are just local primatives they they are just getting placed on the stack and theres no big deal there.

hmm, i modifed the code, however it seems to have little to no impact on performance... i wonder if the profiler misled me and the problem exists else where...

I have managed to  speed up the decompressor a little bit by instead of recusive tree traversal i have made the traveral iterative.

However it is still takes twice as long to decompress as to compress.... which i put down to the cost of tree traversal. I need to think of a way to convert the tree into an array me thinks.

here is the modified encode:

Um. you didn't fix the array access.

Your still accessing an array everywhere AFAICT,  you just copied it into a smaller array.

The costs are the index add and the bounds check.  You havent gotten rid of either.

Put the values in FLAT variables, NOT arrays.

?! i was under the impression that the cost to extract a value from an primitive array is the same as from a primitive as all the array consits of is pointers.

but i guess i am incorrect!  :-/ ah, well it happens enough  Grin

So you would suggest the following?:

currentPixelRed=frame[j][0];
currentPixelGreen=frame[j][1];
currentPixelBlue=frame[j][2];

which bound checking are you specifically talking about?

all the "##Codes[RBdiff].length >0" are needed as is the inital "if (k>-1)"

the count++ is necessary as it is used elsewhere in the program with the saving of the bit stream

basically, i cannot see any checking which i can remove without effecting the algorithm.

AFAICT


what does this mean?

**sigh**

Okay I see I have to start at the VERY beginning.

First off, forget about C. Java is different.  It has differnt behaviors and different performance characteristics.

EVERY time you use an index into an array in Java there is a potential bounds check as Java, unlike C, does not allow you to over-run or under-run arrays.

When you are  looping through indexes in an obvious way like this...

1  
2  
3  
for(i=0;i<max;i++){
     System.out.println(foo[i]);
}


Then the VM can do something called "bounds check hoisting" and only check the start and end values of i.  But otherwise EVERY index into an array has to be checked and IS checked by the VM.

This is what I was talking about.

For more information on Java performance characteristics I'd strongly suggest you read Steve and my book as you will learn a lot:   http://java.sun.com/docs/books/performance  
The whole text of the book is there at the web site if you can't afford to buy a  copy.

JK

P.S.  Just as an aside, even in C x = foo is more expensive then x = bar.   Fetchign the value of bar is
a single memory access.,  resolving foo is the EXACTLY the same as saying x= *(foo+i).  

In C if you have an array foo[] then foo is the base address of that array.  You find an index into it by adding the index to the bae and then dereferencing that resultant address.  Thus there is an extra addition in every access.  In c this....

1  
2  
3  
4  
5  
int i = 0;
int v;
for(i=0;i<MAX;i++){
    v += foo[i];
}


Is much more efficiently written as

1  
2  
3  
4  
5  
6  
int i=0;
int v;
int *fooptr = foo;
for(int i=0;i<MAX;i++)
    v += *fooptr++;
}

ah, i see where we were having issues Smiley our interpetations of what consitutes bound checking differed. I understand that java does not allow overruns, however i guess i never knew the process in which java checks the requested element was called bound checking, rather i thought that the checks the programmer puts in is what is called bound checking.

It is all clear now Smiley

Thanks!
