Description

Folder location

Example

Dynamic

Shared object libraries include both processor dispatchers and function implementations

ipp/lib/<arch>

libipps.so.7.0 libippsp8.so.7.0

Soft links to shared object libraries

ipp/lib/<arch>

libipps.so

libippsp8.so

Static merged

Contain function implementations for all supported processor types:

libraries with position independent code (PIC)

ipp/lib/<arch>

libipps_l.a

(non-PIC libraries*)

ipp/lib/<arch>/nonpic

libipps_l.a

Threaded static merged

Contain threaded function implementations

ipp/lib/<arch>

libipps_t.a

Static emerged

Contain dispatchers for the merged libraries:

libraries with position independent code (PIC)

ipp/lib/<arch>

libipps_l.a

(non-PIC libraries*)

ipp/lib/<arch>/nonpic

libipps_l.a

Here <arch> refer to the architecture specific folder.

* - non-PIC libraries are suitable for kernel-mode and device-driver use.

Optimization Notice

Intel's compilers may or may not optimize to the same degree for non-Intel microprocessors for optimizations that are not unique to Intel microprocessors. These optimizations include SSE2, SSE3, and SSSE3 instruction sets and other optimizations. Intel does not guarantee the availability, functionality, or effectiveness of any optimization on microprocessors not manufactured by Intel. Microprocessor-dependent optimizations in this product are intended for use with Intel microprocessors. Certain optimizations not specific to Intel microarchitecture are reserved for Intel microprocessors. Please refer to the applicable product User and Reference Guides for more information regarding the specific instruction sets covered by this notice.
