use-intel-optimized-headers, Quse-intel-optimized-headers

Determines whether the performance headers directory is added to the include path search list.

IDE Equivalent

Windows: Optimization > Use Intel Optimized Headers

Linux: None

Mac OS X: None

Architectures

IA-32, Intel® 64 architectures

Syntax

Linux and Mac OS X:

-use-intel-optimized-headers

Windows:

/Quse-intel-optimized-headers

Arguments

None

Default

-no-use-intel-optimized-headers or /Quse-intel-optimized-headers-

The performance headers directory is not added to the include path search list.

Description

This option determines whether the performance headers directory is added to the include path search list.

The performance headers directory is added if you specify -use-intel-optimized-headers (Linux and Mac OS X) or /Quse-intel-optimized-headers (Windows OS). Appropriate libraries are also linked in, as needed, for proper functionality.

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.
