Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives (Intel® IPP) Developer Guide and Reference
Linking Options
Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives (Intel® IPP) is distributed as:
Static library: static linking results in a standalone executable
Dynamic/shared library: dynamic linking defers function resolution until runtime and requires that you bundle the redistributable libraries with your application
The following table provides description of libraries available for linking.
Single-threaded (non-threaded) |
Threading Layer (externally threaded) |
|
Description |
Suitable for application-level threading |
Implementation of application-level threading depends on single-threaded libraries |
Static linking |
Windows* OS: mt suffix in a library name (ipp<domain>mt.lib) Linux* OS: no suffix in a library name (libipp<domain>.a) |
Windows* OS: _mt_tl_<threading_sfx> suffix in a library name (ipp<domain>mt_tl_<threading_sfx>.lib) Linux* OS: _tl_<threading_sfx> suffix in a library name (libipp<domain>_tl_<threading_sfx>.a) + single-threaded libraries dependency, where <threading_sfx> is one of {tbb, omp} |
Dynamic Linking |
Default (no suffix) Windows* OS: ipp<domain>.dll Linux* OS: libipp<domain>.so |
_tl_<threading_sfx> suffix Windows* OS: ipp<domain>_tl_<threading_sfx>.dll Linux* OS: libipp<domain>_tl_<threading_sfx>.so + single-threaded library dependency, where <threading_sfx> is one of {tbb, omp} |
The binaries founf in main package after installation: - <ipp directory>/lib (static - Windows* & Linux* OS, dynamic - Linux* OS only) - <ipp directory>\bin (dynamic - - Windows* OS only)
To switch between Intel IPP libraries, set the path to the preferred library in system variables or in your project, for example:
Windows* OS:
Intel® 64: SET LIB=<ipp directory>\lib
Linux* OS:
Single-threaded Intel® 64: gcc<options>-L<ipp directory>/lib
Threading Layer depends on the OpenMP* or Intel® Threading Building Blocks (Intel® TBB) library according to the selected threading type. You can find these libraries in <intel compiler directory>/lib or <tbb directory>/lib folders.
