Options

Descriptions

1. Adjusting Console Input

-A

Prompt for the parameters before every test from console

-B

Batch mode

2. Managing Output

-r[<file-name>]

Create <file-name>.csv file and write PTT results to it

-R[<file-name>]

Add test results to the file <file-name>.csv

-H[ONLY]

Add 'Interest' column to .csv file [and run only hot tests]

-o[<file-name>]

Create <file-name>.txt file and write console output to it

-O[<file-name>]

Add console output to the file <file-name>.txt

-L <ERR|WARN|PARM|INFO|TRACE>

Set detail level of the console output

-u[<file-name>]

Create <file-name>.csv file and write summary table ('_sum' is added to the file name)

-U[<file-name>]

Add summary table to the file <file-name>.csv ('_sum' is added to the file name)

-e

Enumerate tests and exit

-g[<file-name>]

Create signal file just at the end of the whole testing

-s[-]

Sort or don't sort functions (sort mode is default)

3. Selecting Functions for Testing

-f <or-pattern>

Run tests for functions with pattern in their names, case sensitive

-f-<not-pattern>

Do not test functions with pattern in their names, case sensitive

-f+<and-pattern>

Run tests only for functions with pattern in their names, case sensitive

-f=<eq-pattern>

Run tests of functions with name eq-pattern, case sensitive

-F<func-name>

Start testing from function with the full name func-name, case sensitive

4. Operation

with .ini Files

-i[<file-name>]

Read PTT parameters from the file <file-name>.ini

-I[<file-name>]

Write PTT parameters to the file <file-name>.ini and exit

-P

Read tested function names from the .ini file

5. Adjust default directories and file names for input and output

-n<title-name>

Set default title name for .ini file and output files

-p<dir-name>

Set default directory for .ini file and input test data files

-l<dir-name>

Set default directory for output files

6. Direct Data Input

-d<name>=<value>

Set PTT parameter value

7. Process priority

-Y<HIGH/NORMAL>

Set high or normal process priority (normal is default)

8. Setting environment

-N<num-threads>

Call ippSetNumThreads(<num-treads>)

9. Getting help

-h

Display short help and exit

-hh

Display extended help and exit

-h<option>

Display extended help for the specified option and exit

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.
