Clearly such functions are candidates for +significant optimization using various techniques, especially by using +extended instructions provided by modern CPUs (Altivec, MMX, SSE, etc.). + +Many multimedia applications and libraries already do similar things +internally. The goal of this project is to consolidate some of the code used +by various multimedia projects, and also make optimizations easier to use by +a broad range of applications. + +WWW: http://liboil.freedesktop.org |
