# Enabling CPU specific optimizations
For Intel/AMD processors, OpenJPEG implements optimizations using the SSE4.1
instruction set (for example, for the 9x7 inverse MCT transform) and the AVX2
instruction set (for example, for the 5x3 inverse discrete wavelet transform).
Currently, those optimizations are only available if OpenJPEG is built to
use those instruction sets (and the resulting binary will only run on compatible
CPUs)
With gcc/clang, it is possible to enable those instruction sets with the following :
cmake -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-O3 -msse4.1 -DNDEBUG" ..
cmake -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-O3 -mavx2 -DNDEBUG" ..
(AVX2 implies SSE4.1)
Or if the binary is dedicated to run on the machine where it has
been compiled :
cmake -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-O3 -march=native -DNDEBUG" ..
