Executive Summary
The audience of this paper are software architects and developers who intend to use the Intel®
Integrated Performance Primitives (Intel® IPP) software library in the Microsoft .NET*
framework environment.
This document provides  information on Microsoft .NET framework interoperability mechanisms
to create C# wrapper functions for using Intel IPP C-style libraries from a .NET framework
application using the C# language.  It is assumed that the reader is familiar with Intel IPP [1] and
the Microsoft .NET framework concepts such as common language runtime (CLR), framework
class libraries (FCL), assemblies, metadata, custom attributes and tools such as Microsoft Visual
Studio* .NET, ILDASM, ILASM, etc.

 IPP Overview
Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives are a cross-platform software library which provides a
range of library functions for multimedia, audio codecs, video codecs (for example, H.263, 
MPEG-4), image processing (JPEG), signal processing, speech compression (G.723, GSM-AMR),
computer vision, as well as math support routines for such processing capabilities. Intel IPP is
optimized for the broad range of Intel® microprocessors: Intel® Pentium® 4 processor, Intel®
Itanium® 2 processor, Intel® Xeon™ processors, and Intel® PCA application processors based on
the Intel® XScale™ microarchitecture. This enables ease of porting and migration of software
applications between different processor platforms.
Intel IPP functions can be used from the .NET framework managed environment to speed up the
performance of applications on Intel® platforms.
Microsoft .NET Framework Overview
Microsoft .NET framework is a managed run time environment for developing applications, by
using a common language runtime (CLR) layer and class libraries. This layer consists of runtime
execution services such as garbage collection for memory safety, remoting, security, etc. The
benefit is to quickly develop various types of software applications like windows forms, XML web
services, distributed applications, media applications, imaging applications and others.
A managed application can be written in any language, which has a .NET compliant compiler that
compiles the source code into .NET assemblies. The .NET compliant compilers must follow
Common Language Specification (CLS) and Common Type System (CTS), which are subsets
respectively of common functionality and types, among all languages. These specifications enable
type-safety and cross-language interoperability. Simply stated, an object written in one .NET
compliant language, for example, VB.NET, can be invoked from another object written in another
.NET compliant language, for example, C#.
