| Overview 
 Intel® Performance Libraries offer pre-built library functions optimized for 
Intel processors, enabling developers to focus on building value-add 
functionality.  Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives (Intel® IPP) is a cross-platform 
software library that allows users to write optimized applications that maximize 
performance on Intel processors. Intel IPP includes functionality for signal and 
image processing, cryptography, text strings and vector manipulation, matrix 
math, as well as more sophisticated primitives for construction of audio, video 
and speech codecs.  Features and Benefits 
 
	Programming interface increases software performance on Intel?s 
	latest microprocessors, providing time-to-market advantages and reduced 
	development costs. Developers access advanced processor features without 
	having to write processor-specific code Optimized for Intel® Itanium®2, Intel® Xeon?, and Intel® Pentium® 
	processors, and Intel® Personal Internet Client Architecture (Intel® PCA) 
	processors based on Intel XScale® technology. With a common application 
	programming interface (API) across the range of architectures, multimedia 
	application developers achieve compatibility Threaded application support, implemented as a thread-safe 
	library for Pentium and Itanium processor-based environments, means 
	applications can be threaded with the assurance that IPP functions are safe 
	for use in a threaded environment Encoder-decoder samples accelerate development of applications, 
	components, and codecs. MPEG, H.263, Imaging, MP3, and G.723 are just a few 
	of the areas with aids to build applications faster, making the most of 
	Intel IPP functionality Trial version is available 
 What?s New in the Integrated Performance Primitives 4.0  Intel IPP brings together support for Intel® Pentium®, Intel® Itanium®, 
Intel® Xeon?, and Intel® Personal Internet Client Architecture (Intel® PCA) 
processors into a single package. With a common API across the range of 
architectures, developers receive platform compatibility, reduced development 
costs, and ease of application porting. Unique features of each architecture are 
supported. Intel PCA support represents a subset of the functions for Pentium 
and Itanium processors.  For Pentium, Itanium, and Intel Xeon processors, Intel IPP 4.0 introduces two 
new function domains for cryptography and text string support as well as 
function expansion for audio, video, speech coding, and speech recognition ? 
plus improved small footprint support. Intel IPP is available for Windows and 
Linux operating systems (32- and 64-bit support). For Intel PCA processors, 
Intel IPP introduces support for Intel® Wireless MMX? technology. An extensive variety of encoder-decoder samples has been implemented using 
Intel IPP functions to help demonstrate the use of Intel IPP and accelerate 
development of your application, components, and codecs. This sample code is 
provided under the terms and conditions outlined in the license agreement found 
with the main Intel IPP 4.0 beta installation package. 
 Creates Highly Optimized Applications Running on Intel Processors Intel IPP is a cross-platform software library that provides a programming 
interface allowing users to write highly optimized applications to maximize 
performance on Intel processors, while providing time-to-market advantages. 
Users can access advanced processor features without writing processor-specific 
code.  Covers a Range of Intel Architectures with One Application Program 
Interface  Intel IPP is optimized for Intel Itanium 2, Pentium, and Intel Xeon 
processors, and Intel Personal Internet Client Architecture (Intel PCA) 
processors based on Intel XScale technology. With a single application 
programming interface (API) across the range of architectures, multimedia 
application developers achieve compatibility and reduce development costs.  Intel® Premier Support  Every purchase of an Intel® Software Development Product includes a year of
