INFO: LIBMOTO for PowerPC May Improve Application Performance

SUMMARY

Motorola has made available a static library, LIBMOTO, which may improve performance of some PowerPC applications built using Microsoft Visual C++. Linking with LIBMOTO replaces the following C Runtime Functions:

   * cos                    * pow
   * exp                    * sin
   * log                    * sqrt
   * log10                  * strcmp
   * memcpy                 * strlen
   * memmove                * strncmp
				

The memory and string functions have been hand-tuned in PowerPC assembly language for high performance. The math functions contain some tables and algorithms that are proprietary to Motorola. Applications that make heavy use of the above CRT functions may see an improvement in performance.
