Description: A SIMD-accelerated JPEG codec that provides both the libjpeg and TurboJPEG APIs
libjpeg-turbo is a derivative of libjpeg 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 the unmodified version of libjpeg, all else being equal.
.
libjpeg-turbo was originally based on libjpeg/SIMD by Miyasaka Masaru, but
the TigerVNC and VirtualGL projects made numerous enhancements to the codec
in 2009, including improved support for Mac OS X, 64-bit support, support
for 32-bit and big-endian pixel formats (RGBX, XBGR, etc.), 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
achieves 80-120% of the performance of TurboJPEG/IPP. It is faster in some
areas but slower in others.
.
In early 2010, libjpeg-turbo spun off into its own independent project, with
the goal of making high-speed JPEG compression/decompression technology
available to a broader range of users and developers.
