For the purpose of an experiment, I would love to see $20k also offered to eek out more performance on the dav1d decoder, otherwise this is just a measure of how much money people are willing to pour into optimisations.

Your comment reads like the school room dilemma of if your mom gives you cookies to share with your friends at lunch she better bring enough for everyone. This is being done to prove a point, that rust is just as efficient as c while being memory safe. Your idea is misaligned with the goals of the contest and more a moral complaint on “fairness”. Where do you get this notion that any entity offering their own funds in a contest needs to distribute it evenly?

  Your reply reads as if you have skin in this game and are for some unknown reason offended by the idea of a fair test. > This is being done to prove a point, that rust is just as efficient as c while being memory safe. I understand that, but it could just end up being a measure of how much money we are willing to pour into libraries. If you start putting money in to any language, you should see efficiency increase and bugs decrease. A nice result would be them being about the same speed, but Rust offering greater protections. > Your idea is misaligned with the goals of the contest and more a moral complaint on “fairness”.

There is already significant investment from AOM, Videolan, and FFMPEG funding the development of dav1d. Is there a reason that that investment is not relevant? From what I can tell, way more than $20k has been invested into dav1d, and that investment has generated many performance optimisations already. Ostensibly, that's what this rav1d bounty is competing with.
