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)

    ipp_custom_{dll|so}.{dll|so|dylib}

    ipp_test_app.exe (for Windows*) or ipp_test_app (for Linux* OS)

    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}

    Package size: 0.1 Mb

    Package size: 121.5 Mb

  • 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.

NOTE:
The current Python* version of the Intel IPP Custom Library Tool supports the host-host configuration only, the host-target configuration is currently not supported.
