Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Mathieu Malaterre <malat@debian.org>
* Package name : jpeg-xl
Version : 0.1
Upstream Author : JPEG (ISO/IEC SC29/WG1)

Programming Lang: C++
Description : A reference implementation of JPEG XL
JPEG XL was designed for two main requirements:
.
* high quality: visually lossless at reasonable bitrates;
* decoding speed: multithreaded decoding should be able to reach
around 400 Megapixel/s on large images.
.
These goals apply to various types of images, including HDR content,
whose support is made possible by full-precision (float32)
computations and extensive support of color spaces and transfer
functions.
.
High performance is achieved by designing the format with careful
consideration of memory bandwidth usage and ease of SIMD/GPU
implementation.
