Here is a list of all topics with brief descriptions:
| Bitstream | HEVC bitstream coding |
| CABAC | Context Adaptive Binary Arithmetic Encoder implementation |
| Compression | Prediction parameter decisions and ratedistortion optimization |
| Control | Initialization and control flow of the encoder |
| DataStructures | Containers for images, predictions parameters and such |
| Extras | 3rd party modules not considered part of the encoder |
| Optimization | Architecture dependant SIMD optimizations and dynamic dispatch mechanism |
| Reconstruction | Stuff required for creating the resulting image after lossy compression |
| Threading | Stuff related to multi-threading using pthreads |
