Intel Performance Libraries

Intel has released a suite of application-specific libraries that take advantage of the native signal processing capabilities of MMX and Streaming SIMD extensions of the Intel architecture. Available libraries include signal processing, recognition primitives, image processing, and JPEG. We describe the signal processing library below.

Signal Processing Library

Signal Processing Library that contains more than 200 functions in standard DLLs and static libraries forms. The functions are optimized for various Intel Architecture processors (Intel 486, Pentium, Pentium Pro, Pentium II, and Pentium III). From the Intel Web site: "The Intel Signal Processing Library provides a set of signal processing functions for the Intel Architecture processors similar to those available for most Digital Signal Processors (DSPs)." Because MMX technology accelerates primarily integer arithmetic, the floating-point functions do not use MMX technology.
