 # liboil
 
+Liboil is a library of simple functions that are optimized for various CPUs.
+These functions are generally loops implementing simple algorithms, such as
+converting an array of N integers to floating-point numbers or multiplying and
+summing an array of N numbers.
+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 broader
+range of applications.
