| Description: A toolkit for displaying OpenGL applications to thin clients |
| libjpeg-turbo is a high-speed version of libjpeg for x86 and x86-64 processors |
| which uses SIMD instructions (MMX, SSE2, etc.) to accelerate baseline JPEG |
| compression and decompression. libjpeg-turbo is generally 2-4x as fast |
| as the unmodified version of libjpeg, all else being equal. libjpeg-turbo |
| also includes a wrapper library for the TurboJPEG API used by VirtualGL and |
| TurboVNC. |
| . |
| libjpeg-turbo was originally based on libjpeg/SIMD by Miyasaka Masaru, but |
| the TigerVNC and VirtualGL projects made numerous enhancements to the codec, |
| including improved support for Mac OS X, 64-bit support, support for 32-bit |
| and big endian pixel formats, accelerated Huffman encoding/decoding, and |
| various bug fixes. The goal was to produce a fully open source codec that |
| could replace the partially closed source TurboJPEG/IPP codec used by |
| VirtualGL and TurboVNC. libjpeg-turbo generally performs in the range of |
| 80-120% of TurboJPEG/IPP. It is faster in some areas but slower in others. |
