Review the on-line version of this list, at Intel® IPP 7.0 Library Release Notes for the most up-to-date information.
The initial release of the Intel IPP library was only distributed as part of the Intel® Parallel Composer 2011 product, which is distributed with the Intel® Parallel Studio 2011 product, and is only available for the Microsoft* Windows* platform. Update releases are available on all supported platforms and as standalone products.
The core Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives library (Intel® IPP library) v7.0 for Microsoft* Windows* consists of two installation packages:
and the following optional add-on packages:
The core Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives library (Intel® IPP library) v7.0 for Linux* consists of two installation packages:
and the following optional add-on packages:
There is no standalone installation of the Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives library (Intel® IPP library) v7.0 for Mac OS X*. The Intel IPP 7.0 library for Mac OS X is distributed as part of the Intel® Composer XE and Intel® C++ Composer XE product suites.
Cryptography for Intel IPP is a separate installation package that contains the binaries and header files needed to utilize the functions contained in the IPP cryptography domain. It is an add-on to the IPP library and, therefore, requires that the core IPP library already be installed on your system. You must first install the standalone Intel IPP library, the Intel C++ Compiler Professional Edition, or the Intel Parallel Studio product before installing the respective cryptography add-on library.
To obtain the Intel IPP cryptography libraries, which are distributed separately from the core IPP library, register for eligibility and review this knowledge base article Where do I download the Intel® IPP Cryptography libraries?.
In order to decrease the size of the IPP library installation package, the SPIRAL domain (ippGEN) is now distributed as a separate library add-on. Go to the Intel Registration Center to download the ippGEN component of the IPP library.

Optimization Notice |
---|
The Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives (Intel® IPP) library contains functions that are more highly optimized for Intel microprocessors than for other microprocessors. While the functions in the Intel® IPP library offer optimizations for both Intel and Intel-compatible microprocessors, depending on your code and other factors, you will likely get extra performance on Intel microprocessors. While the paragraph above describes the basic optimization approach for the Intel® IPP library as a whole, the library may or may not be optimized to the same degree for non-Intel microprocessors for optimizations that are not unique to Intel microprocessors. These optimizations include Intel® Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 (Intel® SSE2), Intel® Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (Intel® SSE3), and Supplemental Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (Intel® SSSE3) instruction sets and other optimizations. Intel does not guarantee the availability, functionality, or effectiveness of any optimization on microprocessors not manufactured by Intel. Microprocessor-dependent optimizations in this product are intended for use with Intel microprocessors. Intel recommends that you evaluate other library products to determine which best meets your requirements. |
