+ Liboil is a library of simple functions that are optimized for various CPUs.
+ These functions are generally loops implementing simple algorithms, such as
+ converting an array of N integers to floating-poing numbers or multiplying
+ and summing an array of N numbers. Clearly such functions are candidates for
+ significant optimization using various techniques, especially by using
+ extended instructions provided by modern CPUs (Altivec, MMX, SSE, etc.)."
