Framewave (FW) is a collection of libraries that contain highly-optimized functions for use in a variety of programming domains. All implementations of the libraries provide C and C++ programmers ANSI C style interfaces.
Framewave consists of the following libraries:
Framewave functions are geared to yield maximum performance on the x86 and the AMD64 hardware architectures. Current implementations exploit multicore architecture and single instruction multiple data (SIMD) instructions. Specifically, streaming SIMD extensions and AMD® family 10h technologies are used to optimize for speed. Programmers can concentrate on task functionality because Framewave handles performance. Many of the functions are threaded internally; the programmer has the flexibility of controlling the number of threads and of turning off threading. As architecture changes and new instructions are added, new code paths to take advantage of extensions can be added to Framewave without changing the programming interface and existing functionality.
This documentation is intended for experienced software developers. To understand the functional descriptions, a developer must be reasonably proficient in the C programming language, and must have a working knowledge of application-specific terminology and techniques.
The documentation is divided into sections for each library. Within the sections, Basic Concepts chapters provide overview information related to the library and subsequent chapters provide detailed descriptions of the library functions.
Each detailed description consists of a Function Name followed by a short description, a Synopsis of the function syntax, a list of function Parameters, a detailed Description of the function, and a list of Return Values.
When a function is optimized for one or more technologies, a list of Supported Technologies is provided after the short description. Most function groups are optimized for the same technologies, but the lists are function-specific; the use of a particular optimization in a single function does not indicate that all the functions in the group are optimized for that technology. When no list of optimizations is present, a function has only reference code. Absence of optimizations does not mean that a function runs more slowly -- use of a particular optimization may not increase the performance of the function.
The Function Quick Reference provides an index and snapshot view of function optimizations.

All Framewave functions return the enumerated integer value FwStatus, which precisely reports the result of execution. The following return value definitions are used.
fwStsAnchorErr | The anchor is located outside the mask. | |
fwStsBadArgErr | Some argument is invalid. | |
fwStsBorderErr | The morphology borderType is an invalid value. | |
fwStsChannelOrderErr | The given destination order is not valid (contains values other than 0,1,2). | |
fwStsCoeffErr | The coefficient values have errors. | |
fwStsContextMatchErr | The specification struture does not match the function or is invalid. | |
fwStsCpuMismatch | The specified CPU type cannot be assigned. | |
fwStsDivByZeroErr | The divisor is zero. | |
fwStsDivisorErr | The divisor is zero. | |
fwStsDomain | Argument out of function domain warning status code. | |
fwStsDoubleSize | Image height and/or width is not a multiple of two warning status code. | |

fwStsNotEvenStepErr | A step value for a floating point image is not divisible by four. | |
fwStsNullPtrErr | A pointer passed to the function is null. | |
fwStsNumChannelErr | The number of channels is incorrect. | |
fwStsOutOfRangeErr | An a rgument is out of range or a point is outside an image. | |
fwStsOverflow | Overflow in operation warning status code. | |
fwStsQuadErr | The source or destination quadrangle degenerates into a triangle, line, or points; or the destination quadrangle has conflicted vertex coordinates. | |
fwStsRectErr | The width or height of the source ROI has a value less than or equal to one. | |
fwStsResFloor | All result values are floored. | |
fwStsResizeFactorErr | The resize factor is less than or equal to zero. | |
fwStsResizeNoOperationErr | A destination image dimension is less than one pixel. | |
fwStsSingularity | Singularity in operation warning status code. | |
fwStsSizeErr | The size is invalid (usually indicates negative or zero size). | |
fwStsStepErr | The step value for the buffer is invalid. | |
fwStsThresholdErr | The less-than threshold is greater than the greater-than threshold. | |
fwStsUnderflow | Underflow in operation warning status code. | |
fwStsWrongIntersectQuad | The quadrangle does not intersect the source or destination image (no operation is performed). | |
fwStsWrongIntersectROI | The ROI does not intersect the source or destination image (no operation is performed). | |
fwStsZeroMaskValuesErr | All mask values are equal to zero. |
Refer to individual function descriptions for detailed information about return values.
Framewave function definitions use the following notation to indicate specific operations.
I | Function operates in-place (source and destination locations are the same) | |
R | Function operates on an ROI (iterative, used only in the Image Processing library) | |
M | Function performs a masking operation | |
Sfs | Function performs a scaled integer calculation |
