Intel® IPP 2019 Update 3 is now available. Intel IPP 2019 packages are now ready for download. Intel IPP is available as part of the Intel® Parallel Studio XE and Intel® System Studio. Please visit the https://software.intel.com/en-us/intel-ipp

What's New in Intel® IPP 2019 Update 3:

Extended Intel® AVX2 and Intel® AVX-512 optimization for ippsFIRMR32f_32fc functions.
Added a threading layer example on building custom pipeline code with the sobel filter functions.
Added new implementation in the IIR Filter functions to improve precision. The implementation provides similar performance for long length vectors, but reduces the performance for short length vectors.
Fixed several bugs in the bzip2 optimization patch files, including Makefile errors, and inconsistency with original code.
Fixed the following dispatching issues in Intel® IPP libraries:
- The IPP functions dispatched Intel® AVX2 optimization code on the Intel® AVX-512 processors with macOS* systems.
- The cryptography libraries dispatched incorrect code on the systems that do not support Intel® AVX instructions.
- The cryptography libraries dispatched incorrect optimization code when the libraries were linked dynamically.

@Gennady.

Are you testing the IPP Dispatcher on AMD CPU's as well?
What code path will IPP chose on AMD CPU?
