Composite ippi functions

[Adriaan_van_Os]

When I need a sequence of ippi functions for a composite operation I could, of course, call those ippi functions in sequence. However, for large images that would be a rather bad usage of the CPU Ln caches.

Another solution is to create a composite "ippi" function that calls for each row the equivalent series of ipps functions. An added advantage is that this can be threaded easily, by giving each thread its own set of rows.

If the RowBytes (StepSize) of the image(s) equal(s) the PixelSize multiplied by the ImageWidth, we can work per chunk rather than per row. Let's assume that sysctlbyname with "hw.l1dcachesize" returns the L1 cache per core. The chunk size can be chosen to be that size for in-place operations or half that size for operations from a source to a target.

Is that optimal ? Or what does Intel recommend ?

I am not aware that my question implies a feature request or proposal. And I did read the page you refer to, of course.
