You can use different linking methods for Intel IPP:
Dynamic linking using the run-time shared object (SO) libraries
Static linking with dispatching by using emerged and merged static libraries
Static linking without automatic dispatching using merged static libraries
Dynamically building your own - custom - SO.
Answering the following questions helps you select the linking method which best suites you:
Are there limitations on the size of the application executable? Are there limitations on the size of the application installation package?
Is the Intel IPP-based application a device driver or similar "ring 0" software that executes in the kernel mode at least some of the time?
Will the application be installed on a range of processor types, or is the application explicitly supported only on a single type of processor? Is the application part of an embedded computer with only one type of processor?
What resources are available for maintaining and updating customized Intel IPP components? What level of effort is acceptable for incorporating new processor optimizations into the application?
How often will the application be updated? Will application components be distributed independently or will they always be packaged together?

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. |
