[GSoC 2019] Improve the performance of JavaScript version of OpenCV (OpenCV.js)
* [GSoC 2019]
Improve the performance of JavaScript version of OpenCV (OpenCV.js):
1. Create the base of OpenCV.js performance test:
This perf test is based on benchmark.js(https://benchmarkjs.com). And first add `cvtColor`, `Resize`, `Threshold` into it.
2. Optimize the OpenCV.js performance by WASM threads:
This optimization is based on Web Worker API and SharedArrayBuffer, so it can be only used in browser.
3. Optimize the OpenCV.js performance by WASM SIMD:
Add WASM SIMD backend for OpenCV Universal Intrinsics. It's experimental as WASM SIMD is still in development.
* [GSoC2019]
1. use short license header
2. fix documentation node issue
3. remove the unused `hasSIMD128()` api
* [GSoC2019]
1. fix emscripten define
2. use fallback function for f16
* [GSoC2019]
Fix rebase issue
* Add HPX backend for OpenCV implementation
Adds hpx backend for cv::parallel_for_() calls respecting the nstripes chunking parameter. C++ code for the backend is added to modules/core/parallel.cpp. Also, the necessary changes to cmake files are introduced.
Backend can operate in 2 versions (selectable by cmake build option WITH_HPX_STARTSTOP): hpx (runtime always on) and hpx_startstop (start and stop the backend for each cv::parallel_for_() call)
* WIP: Conditionally include hpx_main.hpp to tests in core module
Header hpx_main.hpp is included to both core/perf/perf_main.cpp and core/test/test_main.cpp.
The changes to cmake files for linking hpx library to above mentioned test executalbles are proposed but have issues.
* Add coditional iclusion of hpx_main.hpp to cpp cpu modules
* Remove start/stop version of hpx backend
OpenCV pthreads-based implementation changes:
- rework worker threads pool, allow to execute job by the main thread too
- rework synchronization scheme (wait for job completion, threads 'pong' answer is not required)
- allow "active wait" (spin) by worker threads and by the main thread
- use _mm_pause() during active wait (support for Hyper-Threading technology)
- use sched_yield() to avoid preemption of still working other workers
- don't use getTickCount()
- optional builtin thread pool profiler (disabled by compilation flag)
Exampls of these are gnu/kfreebsd and gnu/hurd, both available as
unofficial Debian ports.
They don't define __linux__ (as they are non-linux…) but still define
__GLIBC__, so check on that.
