Liboil is a collection of functions that often benefit from having special implementations on various architectures or CPUs. Each function in liboil has several implementations which may perform faster or slower on a given CPU. Some implementations use alternate algorithms, some use hand-crafted assembly, and some use special instructions that are only available on certain CPUs, such as MMX, SSE, or Altivec. The fastest implementation is automatically chosen at runtime. . This package contains the documentation for liboil.
