The downside is that not all processors support the PMC (all G3, all G4 and the 970 do support them), and they're inactive by default - you need to activate them with a dedicated tool. Also, the number of available PMC depend on the procesor : the various 604 have 2, the various 75x (aka. G3) have 4, anbd the various 74xx (aka G4) have 6. -*WARNING*: The powerpc 970 is not very well documented, and it seems its PMC registers are 64bits wide. The current implementation in FFMpeg assume the register are 32bits wide, and will *not* work on a powerpc 970 (aka G5). +*WARNING*: The powerpc 970 is not very well documented, and its PMC registers are 64bits wide. To properly notify the code, you *must* tune for the 970 (using --tune=970), or the code will assume 32bits registers. II - Enabling FFmpeg PowerPC performance support |
