Intel IPP Threading and OpenMP* Support

All Intel IPP functions are thread-safe. They supports multithreading in both dynamic and static libraries and can be used in multithreaded applications.

Some Intel IPP functions contain OpenMP* code, which increase performance on multi-processor and multi-core systems. These functions include color conversion, filtering, convolution, cryptography, cross correlation, matrix computation, square distance, bit reduction, and so on.

Refer to the ThreadedFunctionsList.txt document to see the list of all threaded APIs in the documentation directory of the Intel IPP installation.

See also http://www.intel.com/software/products/support/ipp for more topics related to Intel IPP threading and OpenMP* support, including older Intel IPP versions of threaded API.

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.
