Both allocating array of bytes (where for example ippsMalloc_16s allocates array of short integers) and both provide the same alignment for allocated buffer.<BR /><BR />It is recommended you use corresponding free functions, ippFree for ippMalloc and ippsFree for all ippsMalloc variants.<BR /><BR />Regards,<BR />Vladimir<BR /> Tue, 24 Feb 2009 15:58:46 GMT Vladimir_Dudnik 2009-02-24T15:58:46Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Integrated-Performance/IppMalloc-vs-IppsMalloc-8u/m-p/896187#M12155 Can somebody tell me if there exists a difference between the pairs:<BR /><BR />IppMalloc(len) / IppFree()<BR /><BR />and:<BR /><BR />IppsMalloc_8u(len) / IppsFree()<BR /><BR />where len is the number of bytes to allocate?<BR /> Tue, 24 Feb 2009 05:47:42 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Integrated-Performance/IppMalloc-vs-IppsMalloc-8u/m-p/896187#M12155 zuliani 2009-02-24T05:47:42Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Integrated-Performance/IppMalloc-vs-IppsMalloc-8u/m-p/896188#M12156 <DIV style="margin: 0px; height: auto;"></DIV> Hello,<BR /><BR />basically there is no difference between these functions.
