Use the IPP fft API in commercial software whether needs to purchase ?

[Michael85]

My team used the intel IPP library (such as ippsDFTFwd_CToC_32fc() ) to test some basic signal processing performance. If we use the necessary function in the commerical software through linking to the IPP library, do we need to make a purchase ? The newest oneAPI supports free and exempt use.

Thanks,

Best regards !

Thanks, Soumya

    Your reply is clear. But we don't sure whether could use some IPP functions freely. The End User License Agreements is not well understood. So could you just give the conclusion of yes or not.  If needs to buy, we are also happy to communicate with the intel sales department.

Thanks ! The intel library seems to be fastest due to the widespread use of inline intrinsics.
