Intel IPP 8.2 continues deprecation of internal threading that was started in version 7.1. The threaded static libraries will be available as a separate download, and code developed with these libraries will still work as before. The ThreadedFunctionsList.txt file in ...\Documentation\en_US\ipp\ lists functions that are available in an internally threaded format. However, multi-threaded libraries are deprecated and moving to external threading is recommended for the following reasons:
Internal (inside a primitive) threading is significantly less effective than external (at the application level) threading.
Threading within the multi-threaded variants of the Intel® IPP library is accomplished by use of the OpenMP* library, while other threading engines like Linux* p-threads , Windows API, or Intel TBB know nothing about OpenMP*. It means that if an application is threaded with any other tool, you can face different issues like thread oversubscription or various types of conflicts.
Intel IPP 8.2 provides a lot of new APIs for one-dimensional (signal processing) and two-dimensional (image processing) functions that support external threading (processing by independent tiles). Several Intel IPP functions combined into a single pipeline that is threaded externally at the application level are significantly more efficient from the performance and power consumption point of view than the sequential call of internally threaded variant of the same functions.
For more information about the deprecation strategy, please see http://software.intel.com/sites/products/ipp-deprecated-features-feedback/.
Intel® IPP static libraries are not compatible with Microsoft Windows Driver Development Kit* 2003.
Re-initialization of the library in case of dynamic linking leads to unnecessary unload-reload of the same DLL. This may slightly affect performance. Please avoid re-initialization at the application side.
Applying antialiasing option to the ippiResizeSqrPixel function with the Lanczos interpolation method leads to correct but shifted by 0.5 pixel (non-symmetrical) result.
Documentation viewing issue with Microsoft Internet Explorer* 10 and Windows Server* 2012: If on Windows Server* 2012 you find that you cannot display help or documentation from within Internet Explorer 10, modifying a security setting for Microsoft Internet Explorer* usually corrects the problem. From Tools > Internet Options > Security, add “about:internet” to the list of trusted sites. Optionally, you can remove “about:internet” from the list of trusted sites after you are finished viewing the documentation.
On Linux* OS, Intel IPP shared libraries for IA-32 contain non-PIC symbols. Each process that uses Intel IPP shared libraries uses a separate copy of the library instead of using one common library.
The Intel® IPP 8.2 for Windows*, Linux* OS, and OS X* are available as:
The installation package for both IA-32 and Intel® 64 architectures
Online installer that downloads materials chosen during installation
and the following optional add-on packages:
Cryptography for Intel® IPP is a separate installation package that contains the binaries and header files needed to utilize the functions contained in the Intel IPP cryptography domain. It is an add-on to the Intel IPP library and, therefore, requires that the core Intel IPP already be installed on your system. You must first install an Intel® development product that includes Intel IPP and then request access to the Cryptography library. To obtain Cryptography for Intel IPP, which is distributed separately from the main Intel IPP, please review this knowledge base article: Intel® IPP for Linux* OS Cryptography Add-on.
As it is mentioned in the What's New section, the number of Intel IPP domains are deprecated. This means that deprecated components are not installed by default and must be selected for installation manually via the Customize install dialog. The following domains are the part of the main package and installed by default:
Core (ippCore)
Vector Math (ippVM)
Signal Processing (ippSP)
Image Processing (ippIP)
Computer Vision (ippCV)
Color Conversion (ippCC)
String Processing (ippCH)
Data Compression (ippDC)
The following components, if need to be installed, must be selected manually:
Audio Coding (ippAC)
Speech Coding (ippSC)
Image Compression (ippJP)
Video Coding (ippVC)
Small Matrices (ippMX)
Realistic Rendering (ippRR)
Data Integrity (ippDI)
Generated Transforms (ippGEN)
If you did not register your Intel® software product during installation, please do so now at the Intel® Software Development Products Registration Center. Registration entitles you to free technical support, product updates and upgrades for the duration of the support term.
