qoixx

qoixx is a high performance MIT licensed single-header QOI implementation written in C++20.

Ubuntu Windows(msys2) M1 Mac

Features

qoixx has the features below:

  • single-header library
  • MIT licensed
  • no dependencies, except for the standard library and architecture-specific headers included with the common compilers
  • extremely fast implementation
    • encoder: SIMD-based implementation, one of the fastest QOI encoder
      • On x86_64, qoixx uses AVX2 if available
      • On ARMv8 or later, qoixx uses
        • SVE if available
        • ARM SIMD(NEON) if SVE is not available
      • If not available, qoixx encoder runs without SIMD instructions (but the scalar implementation is still faster than the original implementation)
      • When you don't want to use SIMD implementation or want to break the dependency to architecture-specific headers, you can use QOIXX_NO_SIMD macro. QOIXX_NO_SIMD forces qoixx encoder to use the scalar implementation.
    • decoder: Optimized scalar implementation, averagely fast
      • With some input, original implementation is faster
      • If the macro QOIXX_DECODE_WITH_TABLES is not 0, the decoder uses precalculated tables
        • In default, QOIXX_DECODE_WITH_TABLES is
          • 0 in aarch64
          • 1 in other envirnoment like x86
        • The default QOIXX_DECODE_WITH_TABLES value can be overridden.

FAQ

  • Q. The decoder built with MSVC is not fast.
  • Q. Can I port it to older C++?
    • A. Of course, you can fork this repository and port it to older C++. However, in this repository I never uses older C++.
