Abstract
Our next examples of SIMD programming will be drawn from image compression. The encoding and decoding of compressed images were one of the original target applications of the MMX architecture. In this chapter we will give some theoretical background to image compression for those unfamiliar with it, and then go on to examine an example compressor—decompressor (CODEC) that makes use of SIMD parallelism.
