The following table was from the documentation but don't see w7 anywhere? IA-32 Intel architecture
px	C-optimized for all IA-32 processors
v8	Optimized for processors with Intel Supplemental Streaming SIMD Extensions 3
p8	Optimized for processors with Intel Streaming SIMD Extensions 4.1
g9	Optimized for processors that support Intel Advanced Vector Extensions instruction set
s8	Optimized for the Intel Atom processor
Intel 64 architecture
mx	C-optimized for processors with Intel 64 instructions set architecture
u8	Optimized for 64-bit applications on processors with Intel Supplemental Streaming SIMD Extensions 3
y8	Optimized for 64-bit applications on processors with Intel Streaming SIMD Extensions 4.1
n8	Optimized for the Intel Atom processor
e9	Optimized for processors that support Intel Advanced Vector Extensions instruction set

Hi DF,

Thanks. I attached them here.

The following table lists all the architecture codes defined by the Intel IPP library through version 6.1 of the product. Note that some of these IPP architectures have been deprecated and are no longer supported in the current version of the product. Deprecated architectures are identified in the Notes column of the table.

Platform	Architecture	SIMD Requirements	Processor / architecture	Notes
IA-32	px	C optimized for all IA-32 processors	i386+
	a6	SSE	Pentium III	thru 5.3 only
	w7	SSE2	P4, Xeon, Centrino
	t7	SSE3	Prescott, Yonah
	v8	Supplemental SSE3	Core 2, Xeon 5100, Atom
	s8	Supplemental SSE3 (compiled for Atom)	Atom	new in 6.0
	p8	SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AES-NI	Penryn, Nehalem, Westmere	see notes below
	g9	AVX	Sandy Bridge architecture	new in 6.1
Intel 64 (EM64T)	mx	C-optimized for all Intel 64 platforms	P4	SSE2 minimum
	m7	SSE3	Prescott
	u8	Supplemental SSE3	Core 2, Xeon 5100, Atom
	n8	Supplemental SSE3 (compiled for Atom)	Atom	new in 6.0
	y8	SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AES-NI	Penryn, Nehalem, Westmere	see notes below
	e9	AVX	Sandy Bridge architecture	new in 6.1
Itanium	i7	Intel Itanium processor family	Itanium
IXP4xx	sx	C-optimized for IXP4xx processors	IXP/XScale	thru 5.3 only
	s2	IXP4xx optimized	IXP/XScale	thru 5.3 only
