Intel Integrated Performance Primitives (Intel IPP) is a multi-threaded software library of functions for multimedia and data processing applications, produced by Intel.[2]
The library supports Intel and compatible processors and is available for Windows, Linux, OS X and Android operating systems. It is available separately or as a part of Intel Parallel Studio.[2]
Features
The library takes advantage of processor features including MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4, AVX, AVX2, AVX-512, AES-NI and multi-core processors. [3] Intel IPP includes functions for:
- Video decode/encode
- Audio decode/encode
- JPEG/JPEG2000/JPEG XR
- Computer vision
- Cryptography
- Data compression
- Image color conversion
- Image processing
- Ray tracing and Rendering
- Signal processing
- Speech coding
- Speech recognition
- String processing
- Vector and matrix mathematics
Organization
Intel IPP is divided into four major processing groups: Signal (with linear array or vector data), Image (with 2D arrays for typical color spaces), Matrix (with nxm arrays for matrix operations), and Cryptography.[3]
Half the entry points are of the matrix type, a third are of the signal type and the remainder are of the image and cryptography types. Intel IPP functions are divided into 4 data types: Data types include 8u (8-bit unsigned), 8s (8-bit signed), 16s, 32f (32-bit floating-point), 64f, etc. Typically, an application developer works with only one dominant data type for most processing functions, converting between input to processing to output formats at the end points.[3]
History
