Following [1]Intel archiving various open-source projects that they are no longer maintaining [2]amid open-source setbacks due to reduced staffing and other corporate restructuring, another round of Intel open-source projects were formally archived on Monday.
The [3]ipmctl open-source user-space code for configuring and managing Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory modules has been archived. Intel exited the Optane memory business, sadly, a while ago and they hadn't updated the ipmctl code in about two years. But now it's formally been laid to rest with the project being archived.
A final farewell to Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory.
"THIS PROJECT IS ARCHIVED
Intel will not provide or guarantee development of or support for this project, including but not limited to, maintenance, bug fixes, new releases or updates.
Patches to this project are no longer accepted by Intel.
If you have an ongoing need to use this project, are interested in independently developing it, or would like to maintain patches for the community, please create your own fork of the project."
Also archived yesterday was [4]intel/fpga-partial-reconfig as a project that Intel had been maintaining for more than a decade for supporting Intel FPGA Partial Reconfiguration Design Flow with various tutorials, reference designs, Linux drivers, and more. With Altera now an independent company again since last year, not too surprising to see Intel archive this open-source project.
[5]Mu2SV was another project archived yesterday by Intel. Mu2SV was born out of an Intel research project around industrial strength refinement checking. This was for a high level model for dynamic checking of the RTL during hardware design. Mu2SV served as a translator for Murphi code to System Verilog (SV).
The other Intel open-source project archived yesterday was [6]ansible-intel-aws-vm as a collection of Intel optimized cloud modules for the Ansible IT automation engine. These Intel optimized cloud modules for Ansible were catered to Amazon/AWS usage.
