# 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.
