The ippMalloc function provides such memory allocation. But it is possible to use just new operator (or CRT malloc function). No problem with functionality or robustness of IPP code for that case. But be aware that in this case you will not able to reach the maximum performance of your code.</DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV>Regards,</DIV> <DIV> Vladimir</DIV> Sat, 18 Dec 2004 02:17:40 GMT Vladimir_Dudnik 2004-12-18T02:17:40Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Integrated-Performance/ippMalloc-do-i-need-it/m-p/922559#M15856 <DIV>Doi need to use the ippMalloc functions instead of 'new'? The calls to ipp functions seemed to work both ways with no difference in timing.</DIV> Fri, 17 Dec 2004 06:37:22 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Integrated-Performance/ippMalloc-do-i-need-it/m-p/922559#M15856 chris-ruth 2004-12-17T06:37:22Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Integrated-Performance/ippMalloc-do-i-need-it/m-p/922560#M15857 <DIV>It is better to use aligned memory blocks if you are wonder about performance.
