WebAssembly pipeline vs native video decoding Benchmark

In this benchmark, we decode as fast as possible the ogg file trailer_1080p.ogg using a Wasm-based decoding pipeline and we compare it with a native browser decoding peformance (where supported).

Decoding 1080p theora video using Webassembly pipeline

We decode the ogg file trailer_1080p.ogg that contains a theora video stream and a vorbis audio stream using the universal canvas tag :

<canvas is="universal-canvas_1" data-url="../test_sequences/trailer_1080p.ogg" using="solver_1"
        with="ogg_1;vorbis_1;theora_1" > </canvas>

Performance of the Webassembly is calculated using painting on canvas without waiting for synchronization.

Display performances are attached to V1 (vout) and decoding performances to V1 (theoradec) :

Native video decoding performance on 1080p theora video

We decode as fast as possible the ogg file trailer_1080p.ogg using native decoding when available :

<video src="../test_sequences/trailer_1080p.ogg"> </video>
