Finding Intel® IPP on Your System

The Unified Directory Layout was implemented in 2021.10 (Intel® oneAPI Toolkit release 2024.0). If you have multiple toolkit versions installed, the Unified layout adds the ability to ensure your development environment contains the component versions that were released as part of that specific toolkit version. The Unified Directory Layout is available only when installing the Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit. It is not available if you installed Intel® IPP as a standalone component.

Environment variables are set up with a script called setvars or oneapi-vars, depending on which layout you are using.

To understand more about the Unified Directory Layout, including how the environment is initialized and the advantages of using the layout, see Use the setvars and oneapi-vars Scripts with Linux * or Use the setvars and oneapi-vars Scripts with Windows* .

Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives (Intel® IPP) installs in the directory referred to as <ipp directory> . By default, the <ipp directory> is :

  • On Windows* OS Component Directory Layout: C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\ipp\<version>

  • On Windows* OS Unified Directory Layout: C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\<toolkit-version>

  • On Linux* OS Component Directory Layout : /opt/intel/oneapi/ipp/<version>

  • On Linux* OS Unified Directory Layout: /opt/intel/oneapi/<toolkit-version>
NOTE:
If you installed Intel® IPP as a standalone component, you will only find Intel® IPP in the Component Directory Layout.

Starting with the 2024.0 release, macOS* is no longer supported in Intel® oneAPI Toolkits and components. Several Intel-led open source developer tool projects will continue supporting macOS on Apple Silicon including oneAPI Threading Building Blocks (oneTBB) and Intel® Implicit SPMD Program Compiler and we welcome the opportunity to work with contributors to expand support to additional tools in the future. All macOS content will be removed from technical documentation in the 2024.1 release. If you need a copy of the documentation, click the Download button in the upper right or download it from the Downloadable Documentation site.
