Dear Nicolas, Sorry for late, we have tested this change by chrome tast test before: tast run $IP video.PlatformEncoding.v4l2_h264* here are the average fps results: Before: 180p: 1913 180_meet: 1935 360p: 554 360_meet: 571 720p: 159 720_meet: 189 After: 180p: 2236 180_meet: 2337 360p: 820 360_meet: 830 720p: 324 720_meet: 390 Thanks BRs On Fri, 2022-07-29 at 11:08 -0400, Nicolas Dufresne wrote: > Hi Irui, > > Le vendredi 29 juillet 2022 à 11:51 +0800, Irui Wang a écrit : > > MT8195 has two H264 encoder hardware, named core0 and core1, this > > two > > cores can encode two input frames separately at the same time to > > achieve > > higher performance. > > I suspect you could provide some performance numbers on that specific > HW before > and after your change ?
