The following section describes some relevant performance measurements during the execution of the color space correction kernel for a few standard resolutions. It begins with a summary of the results detailed on the following sections, as well as the pipelines used to capture such results.

Benchmarking

Pipeline

All the measurements below were made using the following minimal pipeline.

WIDTH=1920
HEIGHT=1080

gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc is-live=true ! "video/x-raw,format=(string)RGBA,width=$WIDTH,height=$HEIGHT,framerate=(fraction)30/1" ! queue ! oclcsc ! fakesink -v

Summary

In this summary you can find measurements related with CPU usage, memory, execution time and maximum framerate supported by the CSC algorithm.

Resolution CPU usage (%) * Memory (kB) * Execution Time (ms)
640x480@30fps 4 19784 2.8
1280x720@30fps 10 20076 7.4
1920x1080@30fps 14 21140 16
Table 1. Summary table regarding to the CSC performance for several standard resolutions running at 30fps


* To have in account: these values were taken with videotestsrc element and may decrease with a camera source capture.


Resolution Maximum framerate (fps)
640x480 170
1280x720 63
1920x1080 29
Table 2. Summary table for the maximum framerate using CSC algorithm for several standard resolutions

CPU usage

These measurements were taken with top app to see the behavior of the pipeline while running, but we have to have in account that videotestsrc is used to generate the buffers and it consumes a lot of CPU.

CPU usage for CSC kernel.

Memory usage

These measurements were taken with meminfo file to see the behavior of the pipeline while running, but we have to have in account that videotestsrc is used to generate the buffers and it depends on the framerate due to the number of buffers generated by videotestsrc.

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination
Memory consumption by CSC kernel.

Maximum Framerate

These measurements were taken with gstperf tool to see the behavior of the pipeline while running, with videotestsrc we are able to push buffers as much as possible to the element. The image below shows the maximum framerate that the CSC element supports. It depends on the execution time of the CSC kernel algorithm.

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination
Framerate for different resolutions on the CSC kernel.

Execution time

These measurements were taken putting some timestamps before and after the processing to measure just the execution time for the CSC kernel algorithm by each frame and avoiding possible false measurements from the GStreamer plugin. The image below shows the CSC execution time by each frame for each resolution.
