Features

Multicore Processor Support
Intel IPP 6.0 fully supports today’s multicore computing platforms:

• Multicore Optimized, Threaded Functions: Over 1700 critical functions for Matrix and Vector mathematics, Signal/Image Filtering and Convolutions, Image/JPEG Compression, Color Conversion and Computer Vision are internally threaded to automatically maximize performance on multi-core systems.
• Multicore Optimized Code Samples: Many of the Intel IPP code samples are threaded to illustrate the effective use of Intel IPP functions in applications such as video encoding and decoding.
• Fully Thread-Safe Functions: All Intel IPP functions are fully thread-safe, simplifying integration into threaded applications.

To learn more about threading and Intel IPP functions visit our threading Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page.

Performance-Optimized Functions
Intel IPP functions are designed to deliver performance beyond what optimized compilers alone can deliver by matching the function algorithms to low-level optimizations based on the processor’s available features such as Streaming SIMD Extensions (SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4, and SSE4.1) and other optimized instruction sets.

Video Coding: Key algorithmic components for DV25/50/100, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.263, and MPEG-4 Part 10 (H.264) codecs. Figure 3 shows where Intel IPP video coding components (represented by the blue boxes) fit into the H.264 codec process flow. Functions include:

• Motion Compensation
• Motion Estimation
• Modified Discrete Cosine Transforms
• Quantization and Inverse Quantization
• Entropy Coding

Image and 2D Signal Processing: Intel IPP is the premier library of image and 2D signal processing algorithms, and includes a rich selection of algorithms operating on images and regions within images (ROIs):

Computer Vision: Intel IPP includes optimized functions for many key computer-vision operations, for applications in security, machine control, media management, media annotation and more:

Intel IPP based optimization is automatically included in the popular OpenCV open-source computer-vision library, for enhanced performance on real-time tasks, and Intel IPP was a key software component in the winner of the 2005 DARPA Grａnd Challenge.

Color Conversion: Today’s explosion of digital media in multiple formats brings the need to convert digital media among different color representations. Intel IPP provides a rich set of optimized color-conversion routines on 32/24/16-bit-per-pixel formats:

String Processing: Build optimized text database management, search and retrieval, or document indexing processing into your applications using Intel IPP’s optimized string operations.

JPEG Coding: Key algorithmic components for JPEG, JPEG 2000, and Motion JPEG codecs. Figure 4 shows where Intel IPP JPEG coding components (represented by the blue boxes) fit into the JPEG and JPEG 2000 codec process flow.

Speech Coding: Intel IPP includes a comprehensive set of routines supporting the following speech codecs/functions:

The freely-downloadable Intel IPP Universal Speech Class (USC) code samples illustrate the use of the low-level Intel IPP functions to build speech codecs.

Signal Processing: Includes signal processing features for the following:

Data Compression: In addition to video, audio and image compression with codecs, Intel IPP provides functions for lossless compression methods, such as those used in the popular “zlib” (inflate and deflate) and “libbzip2” libraries.

Audio Coding: Key algorithmic components for MP3,ａnd AAC codecs. Figure 5 shows where Intel IPP JPEG coding components (represented by the blue boxes) fit into the AAC codec process flow. Functions include:

Speech Recognition: Build advanced speech recognition, Voice-over-IP, and voice annotation capabilities in applications, using Intel IPP’s broad range of speech-recognition capabilities:

Vector/Matrix Operations: Intel IPP contains a rich set of matrix and vector operations for a wide variety of applications, including physics modeling and 3D transform/lighting calculations.

For applications requiring high-performance linear algebra operations on very large data sets, the Intel® Math Kernel Library may also be of interest.

Cryptography: Use Intel IPP to quickly build robust, high-performance cryptographic modules and applications. Below are some of the many cryptographic building blocks included in Intel IPP’s cryptography functions.

Intel IPP’s cryptographic functions have been validated according to the Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program (CAVP).

Note: To access the Cryptography Library, you must request access from Intel.

Ray-Tracing and Rendering: Core operations used in ray-tracing, realistic image rendering, and physics applications:

Data Integrity: Error correcting codes are vitally important to preserving the integrity of data in transmission, storage and encoding. For example transmission lines can be unreliable and introduce data errors, spurious signals can occur when saving data to a compact disk, and errors can occur when reading bar codes. Using error correcting codes like Reed-Solomon is a good way to correct these errors.
