Framewave (formerly AMD Performance Library (APL)) is computer software, a high-performance optimized programming library, consisting of low level application programming interfaces (APIs) for image processing, signal processing, JPEG, and video functions.

It includes simple arithmetic routines, and more complex functions for applications such as image and signal processing.

In 2008, AMD deprecated the APL library in favor of an open-source derivative named Framewave.

Relative to Framewave 1.0, noticeable performance gains occurred in several APIs, including JPEG.

Framewave consists of the following main components: [4] Released on 2007-09-19, APL 1.1 added these feature enhancements:[5]
