We are using IPP 7.0.
I have a small console application in which I am calling the FFT function from here
https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/how-to-use-intel-ipp-s-1d-fourier-transform-functions
When i call ippSetNumThreads(10); and get the number of threads using ppGetNumThreads(&origTh); its returning 10.
However when my FFT is running if i monitor number of threads in task manager i only see one thread.
Dont understand why. Please help.

Hi Shashi,
1D FFT can not get good performance improvement regarding the threading. 128 is too small to get good performance with the threading.
You can check these two posting the 1D FFT threading performance discussion:
https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-integrated-performance-primitives/topic/283657
https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-integrated-performance-primitives/topic/385354
Basically, the FFT is threaded for fit into shared L2 cases only. For small orders OMP overhead is greater than benefit, for large orders (out-of-cache) memory effects play negative role so customers investigation is right there is no any threading for order 19 and above.
Thanks,
Chao
