docs(perf): record the HEVC 8-bit macOS decode measurements - #673
Merged

Conversation
Measures the two cases the previous commit left as RESTE NON MESURE,
using the production Decoder (NV12/CVPixelBuffer present included),
1200 frames, best of three, Parsec disconnected, on the same Mac mini
M1 / macOS 26.5. Sources are hevc_videotoolbox Main yuv420p encoded
from the densest real capture available; the 4K one is an upscaled
render.
HEVC 1080p60 software 452 fps VideoToolbox 303 fps x1.5
HEVC 4K60 software 179 fps VideoToolbox 102 fps x1.8
Software still wins but by a fraction of the H.264 margin, and
VideoToolbox holds real time at both sizes, while the export walk
stays encoder-bound: HEVC keeps VideoToolbox, the predicate is
unchanged.
Method witness: the software side of the 1080p H.264 control
reproduces the 2586 fps on record (2721 fps pure decode); the 212 fps
VideoToolbox figure reproduces under no harness variant (294-330), so
the historical x12.2 reads as an upper bound.
The harnesses live in crates/compositor/examples/ so the numbers are
reproducible.

Full details: Description checkExplanation The description provides detailed measurement results, methodology, scope, and testing context, but it does not follow the required template structure. It omits the required Summary, Related issue, Type of change, Release impact, Desktop impact, Screenshots / video, and Testing headings and checkboxes. Resolution Rewrite the description using the repository template. Add each required heading, select the applicable Type of change, Release impact, and Desktop impact options, state the issue relationship with the required syntax, and place the testing methodology under Testing. Mark Screenshots / video as not applicable if appropriate.

In `@crates/compositor/examples/decode_bench_macos.rs`:
- Around line 29-31: Update the decode loop around dec.rewind() so it tracks the
number of frames produced during each pass; when a complete pass produces zero
frames, return an error instead of rewinding, while preserving the existing
rewind-and-continue behavior for passes that decode at least one frame.
- Line 21: Update Decoder::open_for_export or its caller in decode_bench_macos
so an explicit OPENSCREEN_MAC_DECODE=videotoolbox request cannot silently fall
back to CpuFrames: either propagate an error when hardware initialization fails
or expose the selected backend and reject it before benchmark timing begins.
In `@crates/compositor/examples/decode_pure_macos.rs`:
- Line 20: Validate the decoder mode parsed by the argument handling before
decoding, accepting only "videotoolbox" and "software" and rejecting any other
value instead of silently selecting software. Keep the default software behavior
when the argument is omitted, and ensure the reported mode reflects only a
validated value.
- Around line 73-74: Update the EOF handling in the decoding loop to reject
incomplete measurements: when EOF occurs before the requested frames count,
return an error if n is less than frames instead of printing a successful
result; preserve normal completion when exactly frames were decoded.
- Line 56: In the videotoolbox setup, assign an AVCodecContext get_format
callback before avcodec_open2 that explicitly selects AV_PIX_FMT_VIDEOTOOLBOX.
In the receive loop, validate the first received frame’s format before
incrementing n, and reject the run when it is not AV_PIX_FMT_VIDEOTOOLBOX so
software frames cannot be reported as VideoToolbox.

Five review findings, all applied: - decode_bench_macos: reject an unknown OPENSCREEN_MAC_DECODE value (it would silently fall through to the production default), reject a videotoolbox request that fell back to the software path via the new Decoder::uses_videotoolbox accessor, and stop if a full pass decodes zero frames (infinite rewind on an undecodable source). - decode_pure_macos: reject an unknown mode argument, set an explicit get_format selecting AV_PIX_FMT_VIDEOTOOLBOX and refuse any frame arriving in another format, and reject an EOF before the requested frame count instead of printing a short result.

In `@crates/compositor/examples/decode_pure_macos.rs`:
- Around line 21-24: Update the frame-count argument parsing in both decoding
tools so the `1200` default applies only when the argument is absent; reject
malformed values and zero before entering the decode loop. Preserve valid
positive frame counts and ensure invalid input does not produce a successful
result.

Follow-up to #583, closes the HEVC 8-bit half of #584. No behavior change: the predicate and the arbitration are untouched.\n\nThe two cases the previous commit left as

Per the decision rule from #583: tight → no arbitration change, record the numbers. HEVC keeps VideoToolbox.\n\nMethod witness — partial reproduction. The software side of the 1080p control reproduces the 2586 fps on record (2721 fps in pure decode, Parsec off; it ran 1192 fps with Parsec and its swap pressure eating the efficiency cores). The 212 fps VideoToolbox figure reproduces under no harness variant (294–330 across production/pure/CLI), so the historical x12.2 reads as an upper bound, not a stable ratio. Noted in the comment.\n\nThe harnesses are committed undercrates/compositor/examples/so the numbers stay reproducible — the x12 was measured with a tool that was never committed, which is how it became un-auditable.\n\n10-bit stays unmeasured and excluded by construction (CpuFramesrenders NV12 only — routing it through software would silently truncate to 8 bits).Summary by CodeRabbit
