Primitive vs. Variant Name
The
name
element
identifies the algorithm or operation of the function. The low-level algorithm
that function implements is a
primitive
. This algorithm often has several
variants
for different data types and implementation variations.
For example, the
CToC
modifier in the
ippsFFTInv_CToC_32fc
function signifies that the inverse
fast Fourier transform operates on complex floating point data, performing the
complex-to-complex (CToC) transform.
