ippInitCpu

Initializes the version of the library code for the specified processor type.

Syntax

IppStatus ippInitCpu(IppCpuType cpu);

Parameters

cpu

Processor type.

Description

The function ippInitCpu is declared in the ippcore.h file. This function sets the processor-specific code of the Intel IPP library in accordance with the specified processor type cpu.

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.

Caution iconCaution

You can not use any other Intel IPP function while the function ippInitCpu continues execution.

Return Values

ippStsNoErr

Indicates that the required processor-specific code is successfully set.

ippStsCpuMismatch

Indicates that the specified processor type is not valid; the previously set code is used.
