# Intel's valarray Implementation

The Intel® C++ Compiler Classic provides a high performance implementation of specialized one-dimensional valarray operations for the C++ standard STL valarray container.

The standard C++ valarray template consists of array/vector operations for high performance computing. These operations are designed to exploit high performance hardware features such as parallelism and achieve performance benefits.

Intel's valarray implementation uses the Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives (Intel® IPP), which is part of the product. Select IPP when you install the product.

The valarray implementation consists of a replacement header, `<valarray>,` that provides a specialized, high-performance implementation for the following operators and types:

Operator | Valarrays of Type
--- | ---
abs, acos, acosh, asin, asinh, atan, atan2, atanh, cbrt, cdfnorm, ceil, cos, cosh, erf, erfc, erfinv, exp, expm1, floor, hypot, inv, invcbrt, invsqrt, ln, log, log10, log1p, nearbyint, pow, pow2o3, pow3o2, powx, rint, round, sin, sinh, sqrt, tan, tanh, trunk | float, double
add, conj, div, mul, mulbyconj, mul, sub | Ipp32fc, Ipp64fc
addition, subtraction, division, multiplication | float, double
bitwise or, and, xor | (all unsigned) char, short, int
min, max, sum | signed or short/signed int, float, double
