Intel® IPP 8.0 represents a major product vision update. We are now differentiating between "examples" and "samples". In this context "examples" indicates simple code to illustrate how to get started with a feature of the IPP primitives or technology previews, as installed with those packages. The term "samples" represents the much larger packages distributed for previous releases as a separate download.
For this release and forward, IPP will only use examples as installed with the main product. The entire external samples package represents a previous era of IPP product development and is now legacy.
For more information on the samples please check the previous sample status section below.
Overview of examples distributed with Intel® IPP:
These examples are only intended as simple starting points and are not optimized, tested, or supported at the same level as the primitives.The list of examples is short, but expected to grow by the next major release.
Some setup is required to work with the IPP samples package.
- Copy ipp-examples.zip from the <installdir>/ipp/examples folder to somewhere writable
- Unzip the package
- Open a cmd shell/terminal
- Set environment variables with ippvars.sh
- Generate the example solution/makefile
- Compile
| OS | Example build.cmd |
| Windows | build.cmd --sample=ipp-examples --arch=intel64 --ws=vs2010 --ipp=static |
| Linux | build.sh --sample=ipp-examples --arch=intel64 --ws=make --ipp=static |
| OSX | build.sh --sample=ipp-examples --arch=intel64 --ws=make --ipp=static |
For more information, please see documentation/ipp-examples.html in the ipp-examples bundle.
| IPP Sample | Description |
| ipp_fft | Illustrates usage of FFT and DCT on images |
| ipp_resize_mt | Shows how to use IPP resize functions with external threading. Note: requires TBB to compile. |
| ipp_thread | Image processing with external threading via native threads or TBB. Note: requires TBB to compile. |
Status of samples previously released as a separate download:
-- Follow this link if you need the Intel® IPP samples for Intel® IPP 7.1 update 1.Please note: A samples package will be made available with with IPP 8.0 to ease transitioning to alternatives. (Current ETA is ~1 week after main product launch.) However, support for the contents of this package is discontinued. These previous samples are validated to build with the current IPP but no longer represent the direction of the product. In some circumstances issues may be filed against the primitives but additional work on the samples will not be considered.
Legacy Samples under investigation for moving to community-owned projects:
- Audio and Video Codecs (UMC). For video codecs Media SDK (link) is the successor to UMC. Today and forward, Media SDK is Intel's only hardware enabling product dedicated to media codecs.
- Unified Image Classes (UIC).
- Speech Codecs: Unified Speech Component (USC).
Samples moved to legacy status in IPP 8.0:
There are no plans for further development of these samples. Under limited circumstances issues may be filed against the primitives underneath but additional work on these samples will not be considered.
Your input is very welcome and necessary to help define the future of IPP (or possibly other products) in these areas. Please send email with your feedback to intel_ipp@intel.com.
- Data compression (IPP optimized drop-in bzip, gzip, zlib, lzop replacements)
- String processing (ippgrep)
- Image codecs (IJG)
- High-level language interface examples
- Computer Vision
- Image processing: image-tiling and ippidemo
- Signal processing: ippsdemo
- Deferred Mode Image Processing (DMIP)
Samples moved to legacy in IPP 7.1.1 and before:
- OpenSSL patched with IPP cryptography functions. Fortran 90 language interface. OpenSSL (link) now includes significant optimizations for Intel processors, including AES-NI.
- Intel Image Processing Library (IPL) and image processing templates.
- 2D wavelet transform.
- Ray Tracing/Realistic Rendering, 3D math.
- Image and signal processing with MFC.
