IPP 7.0.1a static libraries

[Mark_Rubelmann]

I'm glad to see the generic base libraries have made their way back into IPP but I'm a little puzzled about how to use the statically linked version. This is from the update notification email I just got:

"The generic dynamic library files will automatically integrate with the Intel IPP library dispatch mechanism; the generic static library files do not integrate with the Intel IPP dispatcher."

So how do we make sure our code will run on systems that require the generic library if we've statically linked IPP? Write our own dispatcher? That would kind of suck.

Thanks,
Mark

Please see this KB article for information regarding the px/mx generic library that was included with the IPP 7.0.4 release:

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! It's too bad they're still not handled by the built in dispatcher but I guess I'll take what I can get. Thanks!

I very happy Intel put back px_ / mx_ prefixes. Now I can again create a common interface, including PX.

They now only need to recompile with OpenMP !
