See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge Since JPEG is so compute-intensive, many people suggest that using an FPU chip (a math coprocessor) should speed it up. This is not so. Most production-quality JPEG programs use only integer arithmetic and so they are unaffected by the presence or absence of floating-point hardware. It is possible to save a few math operations by doing the DCT step in floating point. On most PC-class machines, FP operations are enough slower than integer operations that the overall speed is still much worse with FP. Some high-priced workstations and supercomputers have fast enough FP hardware to make an FP DCT method be a win. DSP (digital signal processing) chips are ideally suited for fast repetitive integer arithmetic, so programming a DSP to do JPEG can yield significant speedups. DSPs are available as add-ons for some PCs and workstations; if you have such hardware, look for a JPEG program that can exploit it.
