Add zlib-ng as an alternative zlib implementation #24782

FantasqueX · 2023-12-27T15:28:58Z

Zlib-ng is zlib replacement with optimizations for "next generation" systems. Its optimization may benifits image library decode and encode speed such as libpng. In our tests, if using zlib-ng and libpng combination on a x86_64 machine with AVX2, the time of imdecode amd imencode will drop 20% approximately. This patch enables zlib-ng's optimization if CV_DISABLE_OPTIMIZATION is OFF. Since Zlib-ng can dispatch intrinsics on the fly, port work is much easier.

在只开启 AVX2 intrinsics 时，png 格式 `imdecodemulti` 和 `imencodemulti` 耗时会减少约 20%。没有启用 name mangling，因为 openexr 会编译不过。经验证，在 Windows 和 Linux 下，zlib 的符号不会导出。上游 PR：opencv#24782

Hi, I've updated zlib-ng to 2.1.6. Could you please review this patch? @asmorkalov @opencv-alalek

FantasqueX · 2024-01-20T10:54:45Z

Gently ping~

asmorkalov · 2024-01-23T09:35:42Z

I apologize for the delay. Zlib is used py OpenCV itself, libpng, QT and other our 3rdparties. I'm looking on different options for OpenCV-Python package to re-use the same implementation and exclude conflicts.

Thanks for testing. For Armv7 build failure, opencv's zlib-ng build option is -DZLIB_COMPAT=ON -DZLIB_ENABLE_TESTS=OFF -DWITH_GTEST=OFF . We should test whther zlib-ng 2.1.6 can be built with those options on Armv7. Since I dont't have an Armv7 environment, it'll take some time to investigate the build failure. I'll have a try with qemu-system.

asmorkalov · 2024-01-31T17:46:16Z

I made experiments with arm and found out that root CmakeLists.txt in zlib was migrated incorrectly. I'll return back to the PR soon.

FantasqueX · 2024-02-01T16:05:14Z

Sorry for late response. I encountered some difficulties using qemu-system. So, I tested my patch on raspberry pi 2b which is the latest armv7 device AFAIK. I cannot reproduce the build failure.

OS: raspberry pi OS based on debian 11, GCC 10.2.1-6+rpi1, CMake: cmake -GNinja -DCPU_BASELINE=NEON -DWITH_ZLIB_NG=ON -DBUILD_PNG=ON ..

FantasqueX · 2024-02-28T08:01:20Z

@asmorkalov Gently ping. It's been a month since I heard from you last time. Is there anything I can do to make this PR be merged sooner?

asmorkalov · 2024-03-04T14:46:38Z

I stuck a bit with the NEON issue in some configurations. I'll try to fix it and propose a solution this week. The PR is definitely useful and will be merged.

asmorkalov · 2024-03-28T13:04:52Z

The compilation issue is compiler dependent. I see the same errors with GCC 5.4 in Ubuntu 16.04, GCC 7.5 and 8.4, but not with GCC 10.2 on Raspberry Pi.

asmorkalov · 2024-05-03T07:55:16Z

Discussed the PR on the OpenCV Core team meeting. Decided to merge the PR as is. WITH_ZLIB_NG option is disabled by default. NEON issue with old compilers will be fixed later with another patch.
