Using Console Version of Custom Library Tool

Follow the steps below to build a custom dynamic library using console version of the Custom Library Tool:

1. Define a list of Intel IPP functions that the Intel IPP Custom Library Tools should export to your custom dynamic library. See the example text file below:

   
   
   

2. Run python main.py with the following parameters:

   -c, --console	Launches the console version of the tool (the GUI version is used by default).
   -g, --generate	Enables the script generation mode (the build mode is used by default).
   -n <name>, --name <name>	Output library name.
   -p <path>, --path <path>	Path to the output directory.
   -root <root_path>	Path to Intel IPP or Intel IPP Cryptography package root directory
   -f <function>, --function <function>	Name of a function to be included into your custom dynamic library.
   -ff <functions_file>, --functions_file <functions_file>	Path to a file with a list of functions to be included into your final dynamic library (the -f or --function flag can be used to add functions on the command line).
   -arch={ia32|intel64}	Enables all actions for the IA-32 or the Intel ® 64 architecture (Intel ® 64 architecture is used by default).
   -mt, --multi-threaded	Enables multi-threaded libraries (single-threaded libraries are used by default).
   -tl={tbb|openmp}	Sets Intel TBB or OpenMP* as the threading layer.
   -d , --custom_dispatcher <cpu_set>	Sets the exact list of CPUs that must be supported by custom dynamic library and generates a C-file with the custom dispatcher.
   --prefix <prefix>	Renames selected functions with specified prefix in the custom dispatcher files.
   -h, --help	Prints command help.

   For example:

   # Generate build scripts in console mode
   # with the output dynamic library name “my_custom_dll.dll” 
   # with functions defined in the “functions.txt” file
   # optimized only for processors with 
   # Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions 512 (Intel® AVX-512) 
   # using multi-threaded IA-32 Intel IPP libraries 
   
   python main.py -c -g
   –n my_custom_dll
   -p “C:\my_project” 
   -ff “C:\my_project\functions.txt”
   -d avx512bw
   -arch=ia32 -mt
