Intel(R) Data Analytics Acceleration Library

Intel(R) Data Analytics Acceleration Library (Intel(R) DAAL) helps speed up big data analysis by providing highly optimized algorithmic building blocks for all stages of data analytics (preprocessing, transformation, analysis, modeling, validation, and decision making) in batch, online, and distributed processing modes of computation.

Installation

You can install Intel DAAL from the provided binary packages or from the GitHub* sources.

For platform-specific getting started documents, see the following pages:

Installing from the Binaries

You can download an archive from the GitHub* release page at https://github.com/01org/daal/releases. This archive contains a script to set the environment variables for library usage in the daal/bin directory.

If you have issues with running the script, you may need to replace the INSTALLDIR string in daal/bin/daalvars.sh and/or daal/bin/daalvars.csh with the name of the directory where you unpacked the archive.

Installing from the Sources

Required Software

C/C++ compiler (see System Requirements)
Java* JDK (see System Requirements)
Microsoft Visual Studio* (Windows* only)
http://msys2.github.io with the msys/make package (Windows* only); install the package as follows:
```
  pacman -S msys/make
```

Installation Steps

Clone the sources from GitHub* as follows:

 git clone --recursive https://github.com/01org/daal.git

Set the PATH environment variable to the MSYS2* bin directory (Windows* only); for example:
```
 set PATH=C:\msys64\usr\bin;%PATH%
```
Set an environment variable for Microsoft Visual Studio* (Windows* only); for example:
```
 call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" x64
```
Set an environment variable for one of the supported C/C++ compilers

Set an environment variable for one of the supported Java* compilers; for example:

 set PATH=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_77\bin;%PATH%
 set INCLUDE=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_77\include;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_77\include\win32;%INCLUDE%

Build Intel DAAL via the command-line interface with the following commands, depending on your platform:

on Linux* using Intel(R) C++ Compiler:
```
    make daal PLAT=lnx32e
```
on Linux* using GNU Compiler Collection*:
```
    make daal PLAT=lnx32e COMPILER=gnu
```
on OS X* using Intel(R) C++ Compiler:
```
    make daal PLAT=mac32e
```

on OS X* using Clang*:

    make daal PLAT=mac32e COMPILER=clang

on Windows* using Intel(R) C++ Compiler:
```
    make daal PLAT=win32e
```
on Windows* using Microsoft Visual* C++ Compiler:
```
    make daal PLAT=win32e COMPILER=vc
```

Built libraries are located in the __release_{os_name}/daal directory.

Python*

Intel DAAL can be also used with Python* interfaces. You can find the pyDAAL package at http://anaconda.org/intel/pydaal.
