New software library helps developers move code between Intel processors
12 March 2003
News
Intel says it is helping software developers create applications for Intel processor-based desktop, server, mobile and handheld platforms with a new version of its Intel Integrated Performance Primitives (Intel IPP). At the Intel Developer Forum, the chip giant said that the new version Intel IPP delivers a library of high-performance software functions and a common application programming interface (API) to enhance the performance and compatibility of applications across multiple Intel-based platforms.
Software libraries allow developers to easily build features, such as audio, video, image, signal and speech processing into an application. Since the Intel IPP library is a cross-architecture library with a common API, those features will work across multiple Intel processor-based platforms without having to re-write the application source code for those features. This reduces development cost and time-to-market and delivers exceptional performance on each platform.
"Our goal is to make Intel processors the port of choice by enabling developers to write code once for optimal performance and eliminate the need for re-writes as new Intel processors are introduced," said Jonathan Khazam, general manager, Intel Software Products Division. "Intel IPP 3.0 adds new function domains for speech and video, as well as source code examples to help developers offer the best experience on platforms based on the Intel XScale technology or Intel Pentium 4, Intel Xeon and Intel Itanium 2 processors."
All applications contain basic functions that provide the ability to process multimedia or numeric data. Intel IPP helps speed up the time it takes to develop new applications by delivering over 26 samples of pre-generated code for common software capabilities, such as speech, image, audio, video graphic and numeric processing. The software library also contains small matrix and vector math functions with the latest optimisations for Intel processors.
