This is my first stab at this and is based on this IRC converstation:
<mib2berlin> brecht: this is meaning as reminder only, I know you have other things to do > http://openvidia.sourceforge.net/index.php/Optimization_Notes#avoiding_busy_waits
<brecht> mib2berlin: thanks, bookmarked
only tested on Ubuntu 14.04 / cuda 5.0 but ill do some more testing tomorrow.
Also unsure about the placement and the lifetime of the stream and the event. But creating / deleting these seems to incur a non trivial cost.

CODEC_ID_* have been replaced with AV_CODEC_ID_* in new libavcodec
versions.
Update the code to use those new identifiers.
Added a compatibility code to ffmpeg_compat.h
* Very simple implementation, only allows for 1 output socket. As we haven't decided yet whether we keep the XML API, rather not spend more time on this now.
* To use an external osl shader, put the .osl file next to the xml file.
* Parameters: "output" is the output socket name, "output_type" the variable type (float, color and closure color are supported).
Example:
<osl_shader name="tex" src="ramp_closure.osl" output="Phong" output_type="closure color" />
<connect from="tex Phong" to="output surface" />
* Change Info in header, put more important info to the left
* API: Move Camera width/height to camera, add some film properties
* Add ESC key to help menu
This is very basic for now, but can be extended with more info (available devices for example) later.
Thanks to Bastien and Sergey for some help with the glRect coordinates stuff.
On Windows we can only do mmap memory allocation up to 4 GB, which causes a
crash when doing very large renders on 64 bit systems with a lot of memory.
As far as I can tell the reason to use mmap is to get around address space
limitation on some 32 bit operating systems, and I can't see a reason to use
it on 64 bit. For the original explanation see here:

Fixes T37841.
On Linux/Mac OS X, simply type "make cycles" inside the Blender source directory, to get a standalone build of the engine.

Code is not equivalent in min/max part (SSE works with NaNs differently), this results in black dots with cardinal_curve hair.
This reverts commit b886c26d1f70d512b4f68975142372e3bee81c89.
This should be pretty rare, the shader in question had many parallel node links
because of copying the nodes many times, which is inefficient to run anyway.
* AVX is available on Intel Sandy Bridge and newer and AMD Bulldozer and newer.
* We don't use dedicated AVX intrinsics yet, but gcc auto vectorization gives a 3% performance improvement for Caminandes. Tested on an i5-3570, Linux x64.
* No change for Windows yet, MSVC 2008 does not support AVX.
