A bit offtopic, but we of image processing do use integers a lot: they're fast, single SSE instruction processing whole 16 uint8s at once.

- DiabloD3 15y agoExcept video cards do image processing every single day. Modern game engines use floating point pipelines the whole way through, the only integers in the GPU typically being texture data and the final output to the screen. SSE2 integer usage may be fast, but GPUs are faster, typically by several magnitudes.
