title: Is there any ARM equivalent of Intel IPP?
body: <p>Certain DSP type workloads seem to show very significant performance improvement on Intel x86 x86_64 processors, when linked against Intel IPP library.</p>
  
  <p>Wondering if there is something similar on ARM side ? Especially that might work accross ARM9, ARM11 and Cortex-A8/A9's (not necessarily with the same level of performance boost).</p>
  
  <p>Finally, this following question, might not be right/acceptable here, so mods pls be kind to leave a comment and I can edit it out.</p>
  
  <p>I've been trying to read the License Agreement of IPP, but it is not clear if the commercial IPP license on Linux, selling for US$199 + taxes, entitles one to a single personal copy (but for possibly commercial use) of the library, or can one link their application against this library and sell it for commercial gain ? Or does that need a different kind of license ? Couldn't figure out a place on intel site to ask this question (nothing like Contact sales) !</p>
