Inner Loops A Sourcebook for Fast 32-bit Software Development

"This book gives the green light to optimal PC performance with practical advice and a strategic sampling of important algorithms. Focused directly on the 32-bit future of PC computing, Inner Loops explores the new rules and opportunities of a wide-open memory space, parallel instruction execution, and clock speeds in the hundreds of megahertz. Many chapters contain high-performance demos, which are also found on the CD. These include one of the fastest sort engines possible, a top-speed Huffman compression system, and JPEG's decompression inner loop tuned or top performance.
