10Description: A SIMD-accelerated JPEG codec that provides both the libjpeg and TurboJPEG APIs
11 libjpeg-turbo is a JPEG image codec that uses SIMD instructions (MMX, SSE2,
12 AVX2, NEON, AltiVec) to accelerate baseline JPEG compression and decompression
13 on x86, x86-64, ARM, and PowerPC systems, as well as progressive JPEG
14 compression on x86 and x86-64 systems.  On such systems, libjpeg-turbo is
15 generally 2-6x as fast as libjpeg, all else being equal.  On other types of
16 systems, libjpeg-turbo can still outperform libjpeg by a significant amount,
17 by virtue of its highly-optimized Huffman coding routines.  In many cases, the
18 performance of libjpeg-turbo rivals that of proprietary high-speed JPEG
19 codecs.

21 libjpeg-turbo implements both the traditional libjpeg API as well as the less
22 powerful but more straightforward TurboJPEG API.  libjpeg-turbo also features
23 colorspace extensions that allow it to compress from/decompress to 32-bit and
24 big-endian pixel buffers (RGBX, XBGR, etc.), as well as a full-featured Java
25 interface.
26 .
27 libjpeg-turbo was originally based on libjpeg/SIMD, an MMX-accelerated
28 derivative of libjpeg v6b developed by Miyasaka Masaru.  The TigerVNC and
29 VirtualGL projects made numerous enhancements to the codec in 2009, and in
30 early 2010, libjpeg-turbo spun off into an independent project, with the goal
31 of making high-speed JPEG compression/decompression technology available to a
32 broader range of users and developers.
