+    """Intel Integrated Performance Primitives (Intel IPP) is an extensive
+       library of ready-to-use, domain-specific functions that are
+       highly optimized for diverse Intel architectures. These
+       functions take advantage of Single Instruction, Multiple Data
+       (SIMD) instructions and improve the performance of
+       computation-intensive applications, including signal
+       processing, data compression, video processing, and
+       cryptography. The intel-oneapi-ippcp package contains support
+       for cryptography and everything else can be found in the
+       intel-oneapi-ipp package.
