The Motorola RISC Microprocessor Division recently posted the Motorola LIBMOTO for Mac OS math library at its Web site, and you can download it for free. LIBMOTO is a highly optimized memory, string, and math library that replaces several commonly used functions provided by the standard C library.
Many PowerPC processor-based Mac OS systems experience significant performance gains for some operations when using this library. Additionally, Motorola provides its own PowerPC software development kit (SDK), which features native PowerPC compilers for Metrowerks CodeWarrior, Symantec Project Manager, and MPW IDEs.
You can download the LIBMOTO library from the following site:
