The Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives Library (Intel® IPP), a high performance library with thousands of optimized functions for x86 and x86-64, is available for free for everyone (click here to register and download). Purchasing is only necessary if you want access to Intel® Premier Support (direct 1:1 private support from Intel), older versions of the library or access to other tools in Intel® Parallel Studio XE or Intel® System Studio. Intel continues to actively develop and support this very powerful library - and everyone can benefit from that!
Intel® IPP is an extensive library which includes thousands of optimized functions covering frequently used fundamental algorithms including those for creating digital media, enterprise data, embedded, communications, and scientific/technical applications. Intel IPP includes routines for Image Processing, Computer Vision, Data Compression, Signal Processing and (with an optional add-on) Cryptography. Intel IPP is available for Linux*, OS X* and Windows* under the Community Licensing program currently.
Intel® IPP is shipped with the Intel® Compilers and all the other Intel® Performance Libraries in various products from Intel. It can be obtained with tools for analysis, debugging and tuning, tools for MPI and the Intel® MPI Library by acquiring the Intel® Parallel Studio XE or with Android support with Intel® System Studio. Did you know that some of these are available for free?
Here is a guide to various ways to obtain the latest version of the Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives Library (Intel® IPP) for free without access to Intel® Premier Support (get support by posting to the Intel Integrated Performance Primitives Library forum). Anytime you want, the full suite of tools (Intel® Parallel Studio XE or Intel® System Studio) with Intel® Premier Support and access to previous library versions can be purchased worldwide.
