The Intel Recognition Primitives Library Features and Benefits

The Intel Recognition Primitives Library V3.1 provides developers of speech and character-recognition software a set of generic functions in the form of standard DLLs and static libraries. The generic functions are optimized for various Intel Architecture processors, such as Intel486^™, Pentium^®, Pentium with MMX^™ technology, Pentium Pro, and Pentium II processors. The recognition primitive functions address the most compute-intensive parts of typical speech- and character-recognition applications. The library includes functions for windowing, fast Fourier transforms, multi-layer perceptron, Hidden Markov Model-based functions (discrete, continuous, and semi-continuous), and many vector operations. The functions process 16-bit integer data, single precision and, floating-point data, as well as their complex variations. Because MMX technology accelerates integer arithmetic primarily, the floating-point functions do not use MMX technology.
