In order to check for newer version, one has to know the current version the program is running with and the latest version available for download.
The current version can be seen from the install path, for example: /opt/intel/ipp/6.1.5.061/
The latest version can be seen by checking the available samples, for example: http://registrationcenter.intel.com/irc_nas/1911/l_ipp-samples_p_6.1.6.073.tgz
Is there an “official” place for this?
How to get this values programmatically?
Notes:
ippGetLibVersion() returns just “6.1”
latest version can be seen with:
curl -s ttp://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-integrated-performance-primitives-code-samples/ | grep “l_ipp-samples_p”
Currently, this is not possible.
There is no known way to check the exact current version and the latest available.
