Description: A SIMD-accelerated JPEG codec that provides both the libjpeg and TurboJPEG APIs
 libjpeg-turbo is a JPEG image codec that uses SIMD instructions (MMX, SSE2,
 NEON) to accelerate baseline JPEG compression and decompression on x86,
 x86-64, and ARM systems.  On such systems, libjpeg-turbo is generally 2-4x as
 fast as libjpeg, all else being equal.  On other types of systems,
 libjpeg-turbo can still outperform libjpeg by a significant amount, by virtue
 of its highly-optimized Huffman coding routines.  In many cases, the
 performance of libjpeg-turbo rivals that of proprietary high-speed JPEG
 codecs.
 .
 libjpeg-turbo implements both the traditional libjpeg API as well as the less
 powerful but more straightforward TurboJPEG API.  libjpeg-turbo also features
 colorspace extensions that allow it to compress from/decompress to 32-bit and
 big-endian pixel buffers (RGBX, XBGR, etc.), as well as a full-featured Java
 interface.
 .
 libjpeg-turbo was originally based on libjpeg/SIMD, an MMX-accelerated
 derivative of libjpeg v6b developed by Miyasaka Masaru.  The TigerVNC and
 VirtualGL projects made numerous enhancements to the codec in 2009, and in
 early 2010, libjpeg-turbo spun off into an independent project, with the goal
 of making high-speed JPEG compression/decompression technology available to a
 broader range of users and developers.
