Like other members of Intel® Performance Libraries, Intel Integrated Performance Primitives is a collection of high-performance code that performs domain-specific operations. It is distinguished by providing a low-level, stateless interface.
Based on experience in developing and using Intel Performance Libraries, Intel IPP has the following major distinctive features:
To speed up the performance, Intel IPP functions are optimized to use all benefits of Intel® architecture processors. Besides this, most of Intel IPP functions do not use complicated data structures, which helps reduce overall execution overhead.
Intel IPP is well-suited for cross-platform applications. For example, functions developed for the IA-32 architecture can be readily ported to the Intel® 64 architecture-based platform. In addition, each Intel IPP function has its reference code written in ANSI C, which clearly presents the algorithm used and provides for compatibility with different operating systems.
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. |
