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/Intel IPP Cryptography 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 have much smaller size if linked with a custom library because standard dynamic libraries additionally contain all optimized versions of Intel IPP/Intel IPP Cryptography 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:

  Application linked with custom DLL	Application linked with Intel IPP dynamic libraries
  ipp_test_app.exe (for Windows*) or ipp_test_app (for Linux* OS and macOS*) ipp_custom_{dll|so}.{dll|so|dylib}	ipp_test_app.exe (for Windows*) or ipp_test_app (for Linux* OS and macOS*) ippi.{dll|so|dylib} ippig9.{dll|so|dylib} ippih9.{dll|so|dylib} ippip8.{dll|so|dylib} ippipx.{dll|so|dylib} ippis8.{dll|so|dylib} ippiw7.{dll|so|dylib} ipps.{dll|so|dylib} ippsg9.{dll|so|dylib} ippsh9.{dll|so|dylib} ippsp8.{dll|so|dylib} ippspx.{dll|so|dylib} ippss8.{dll|so|dylib} ippsw7.{dll|so|dylib} ippcore.{dll|so|dylib}

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