                          README Information for
Intel(R) Integrated Performance Primitives V5.0 Beta for Linux* on Intel(R) PCA processors with Intel(R) WMMX(TM) technology
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Introduction

The Intel(R) Integrated Performance Primitives (Intel(R) IPP) is a software 
library which provides a broad range of functionality including general signal, 
image, speech, graphics, cryptography, text strings and audio processing, 
vector manipulation and matrix math, as well as more sophisticated primitives 
for construction of audio, video and speech codecs such as MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio, Layer 3), 
MPEG-4, H.263, JPEG, GSM-AMR* and G723, plus computer vision. By supporting a 
variety of data types and layouts for each function and minimizing the number 
of data structures used, the Intel IPP library delivers a rich set of options 
for developers to choose from while designing and optimizing an application.

Intel IPP serves up a cross-platform, low-level software interface that abstracts 
multimedia and signal processing functionality from the processor underneath. 
This allows transparent use of recent Intel(R) architecture enhancements such as 
MMX(TM) technology, Streaming SIMD Extensions, Streaming SIMD Extensions 2, and 
Intel XScale(R) technology. Intel IPP is optimized for the broad range of 
Intel(R) microprocessors: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 processor, the 
Intel(R) Itanium(R) 2 processor, Intel(R) Xeon(TM) processors, and the 
Intel(R) PCA application processors based on the Intel XScale(R) technology. With 
a single API across the range of architectures, ISVs can have platform compatibility 
and reduced cost of development. Using Intel IPP, you can simplify integration of 
basic functions and focus more of your time and efforts on building the value-add 
functionality that will differentiate your product in the market.

This README file refers to the Intel(R) IPP V5.0 Beta for Linux* on Intel(R) PCA processors with Intel(R) WMMX(TM) technology.


Product Directories

Following successful installation, the files associated with the Intel(R) Integrated Performance 
Primitives V5.0 Beta for Linux* on Intel(R) PCA processors with Intel(R) WMMX(TM) technology will be installed on your host system.  The following directory map indicates the default structure and identifies the file 
types stored in each sub-directory.


     +-- opt (Root. Installer can specify a different start level.)
          |
