Intel® Data Analytics Acceleration Library

Intel® Data Analytics Acceleration Library (Intel® 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.

System Requirements

Intel DAAL supports the IA-32 and Intel® 64 architectures. For a detailed explanation of these architecture names, read the Intel Architecture Platform Terminology for Development Tools article.

The lists below contain the system requirements necessary to support application development with Intel DAAL. We tested Intel DAAL on the operating systems and with the compilers listed below, but Intel DAAL is expected to work on many more Linux* distributions as well.

Let us know if you have any troubles with the distribution you are using.

Validated Operating Systems
Validated C/C++ Compilers for Windows*
Validated C/C++ Compilers for Linux*
Validated C/C++ Compilers for macOS*
Validated Java* Compilers:
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 Installation Steps
  1. Clone the sources from GitHub* as follows:

    git clone --recursive https://github.com/01org/daal.git
    
  2. Set the PATH environment variable to the MSYS2* bin directory (Windows* only); for example:

    set PATH=C:\msys64\usr\bin;%PATH%
    
  3. 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" amd64
    
  4. Set an environment variable for one of the supported C/C++ compilers

  5. 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%
    
  6. Install Intel® Threading Building Blocks (Intel® TBB) (Windows* only)

    Download and install free Community License Intel TBB. See this page for more details.

    Copy Intel TBB header files and libraries into Intel DAAL folder. E.g.:

    xcopy /I /Y /Q /E "C:\Program Files (x86)\IntelSWTools\compilers_and_libraries_2017.2.187\windows\redist" %DAALDIR%\externals\tbb\win\redist
    xcopy /I /Y /Q /E "C:\Program Files (x86)\IntelSWTools\compilers_and_libraries_2017.2.187\windows\tbb" %DAALDIR%\externals\tbb\win\tbb
    
  7. Build Intel DAAL via the command-line interface with the following commands, depending on your platform:

  8. on Linux* using Intel® C++ Compiler:

        make daal PLAT=lnx32e
    
  9. on Linux* using GNU Compiler Collection*:

        make daal PLAT=lnx32e COMPILER=gnu
    
  10. on macOS* using Intel® C++ Compiler:

        make daal PLAT=mac32e
    
  11. on macOS* using Clang*:

        make daal PLAT=mac32e COMPILER=clang
    
  12. on Windows* using Intel® C++ Compiler:

        make daal PLAT=win32e
    
  13. 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.
