Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives (Intel® IPP) Developer Guide and Reference
Using Custom Library Tool for Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives
With the Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives (Intel® IPP) Custom Library Tool, you can build your own dynamic library containing only the Intel IPP functionality that is necessary for your application.
The use of custom libraries built with the Custom Library Tool provides the following advantages:
Package size. Your package may be much smaller if linked with a custom library because standard dynamic libraries contain all optimized versions of Intel IPP functions and a dispatcher. The following table compares the contents and size of packages for an end-user application linked with a custom dynamic library and an application linked with the standard Intel IPP dynamic libraries:

Smooth transition to a higher version of Intel IPP. You can build the same custom dynamic library from a higher version of Intel IPP and substitute the libraries in your application without relinking.
