Intel(R) IPP Basics

Intel(R) Integrated Performance Primitives (Intel(R) IPP) has the following features:

Intel IPP provides basic low-level functions for creating applications in several different domains, such as signal processing, audio coding, speech coding, image processing, video coding, operations on small matrices, and realistic rendering functionality and 3D data processing.
The Intel IPP functions follow the same interface conventions including uniform naming rules and similar composition of prototypes for primitives that refer to different application domains.
The Intel IPP functions use abstraction level which enables you to improve the performance of your application.

Intel IPP is well-suited for cross-platform applications. For example, the functions developed for IA-32 architecture-based platforms can be readily ported to Intel(R) 64 architecture-based platforms.

Intel IPP for Linux* OS has the following versions:

Intel IPP for the Linux OS on IA-32 architecture (including low power Intel(R) architecture)
Intel IPP for the Linux OS on Intel(R) 64 architecture

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.
