Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives (Intel® IPP) is an extensive library of multicore-ready, highly optimized software functions for digital media and data-processing applications. Intel IPP offers thousands of optimized functions covering frequently-used fundamental algorithms. Intel IPP functions are designed to deliver performance beyond what optimized compilers alone can deliver. Intel Corporation, Visual Studio Industry Partner, announces that Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives (Intel® IPP) will be compatible with Visual Studio 2010* when it ships to customers. Intel® IPP is one of many components of Intel® Parallel Studio, a leading plug-in for Visual Studio 2010 that makes multithreaded application development practical.
