Matlab mex and IPP memory allocation

[thorant]

Hi

I am using the IPP library from within a mex file in matlab. I need to allocate memory dynamically, but what memory allocation functions should I use to ensure optimality, the mex ones og IPP ones?

I do not need any persistent memory, i.e. memory is freed for each call of the function.

Thanks!

Hi Thorsan,

IPP memory allocation function provides you aligned blocks of memory. The modern processors can access to aligned memory more efficiently. There is no other reason or requirement to use IPP memory allocation functions.
