IPP Compatibility

Intel_C_Intel · ‎03-09-2007

Hi,

The situation: We partner with two companies that provide their software to us which we bundle along with our software. Each of them use different versions of IPP (one uses IPP 4.0 and other uses IPP 5.0). Till now we didn't have to have both softwares together, but we intend to do so in the future. That's causing a compatibility issue for us as we are unable have both versions of IPP coexist and neither can we get our partners to provide software to us which works on a single IPP version within the short time that we have at hand.

Is there a work around for this problem? I saw your page on 'Intel IPP 5.0 Backward Compatibility' but that would have helped if it was all our own software. We can tell our partners to use those work arounds but that will take longer than we can afford.

Thanks for your help in advance,

Hello,

what kind of issues do you have with coexisting IPP 4.0 and 5.0? We changed library names, so they are will not replace each other (except ippcore.dll which still have the same name in all IPP versions).

Regards,
Vladimir

Hi,
Thanks for replying. I am sorry, but I just noticed that we get the IPP Run Time Installer (IPP RTI 4.1 and IPP RTI 5.0) bundled with their packages. IPP installation ofcourse does provide an option to keep earlier versions, whereas IPP RTI does not. Is there a work around for this or two RTIs cannot coexist?! Thanks again.
Thanks,
Srinath

Hi Srinath,

I've submitted this as a feature request to Intel Premier Support for you. Please expect you will be contacted by someone from IPP technical support soon.
