Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install liboil on Fedora 34.

What is `liboil`

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.). liboil 0.3.16 25.fc34 x86_64 145 k liboil-0.3.16-25.fc34.src.rpm fedora Library of Optimized Inner Loops, CPU optimized functions http BSD Liboil is a library of simple functions that are optimized for various CPUs.
