ipp, Qipp

Tells the compiler to link to the some or all of the Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives (Intel® IPP) libraries.

IDE Equivalent

Windows: None

Linux: Performance Library Build Components > Use Intel(R) Integrated Performance Primitives Libraries

Mac OS X: Libraries > Use Intel(R) Integrated Performance Primitives Libraries

Architectures

IA-32, Intel® 64 architectures

Syntax

Linux and Mac OS X:

-ipp[=lib]

Windows:

/Qipp[:lib]

Arguments

lib

Indicates the Intel® IPP libraries that the compiler should link to. Possible values are:

common	Tells the compiler to link using the main libraries set. This is the default if the option is specified with no `lib`.
crypto	Tells the compiler to link using the main libraries set and the crypto library.
nonpic (Linux only)	Tells the compiler to link using the version of the libraries that do not have position-independent code.
nonpic_crypto (Linux only)	Tells the compiler to link using the crypto library and the version of the libraries that do not have position-independent code.

Default

OFF	The compiler does not link to the Intel® IPP libraries.

Description

The option tells the compiler to link to the some or all of the Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives (Intel® IPP) libraries and include the Intel® IPP headers.

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.
