Yet more open-source Intel software projects have been formally archived. Over the past year Intel has formally discontinued a number of open-source projects it formally maintained. Many of them were already dormant and not too noteworthy but there were also some more notable ones discontinued like [1]their legendary Clear Linux , [2]Software Defined Silicon , [3]Optane Memory software projects , and then other efforts like [4]open ecosystem community/evangelism . This past week yet more Intel software projects were formally disbanded.
With the enormous amount of open-source projects that Intel engineers formally maintained and many still that they do actively maintain and provide an active stake in, it's an ongoing process for formally EOL'ing their less important open-source efforts that no longer align with their current corporate efforts.
Some of the latest Intel open-source projects formally archived this month include:
[5]BigDL-Time-Series-Toolkit - This was for helping with time series forecasting in real-life scenarios like network load preduction, server utilization prediction, and other areas. Their hope with this project was to be an AI end-to-end solution for single nodes and clusters for forecasting and anomaly detection of time series data. BigDL Time Seres Toolkit was optimized for Intel Xeon processors. This one is a bit more surprising they have formally let go of given the "AI" craze and ongoing heavy use of time series data in different fields.
[6]Robot-based Large Scale LIDAR Mapping - An Intel Labs project working on robot-based LIDAR mapping. Again, another interesting one but alas finite resources for the software efforts at the modern day Intel.
[7]Terraform Intel IBM VM - Intel optimized Compute Modules for Terraform. There were also optimized modules not only for IBM but also Microsoft Windows Azure and Amazon/AWS that were also archived last week.
[8]Edge Software Provisioner - Helping deploy software in edge computing scenarios.
[9]IPEX LLM Tutorial - Helping developers accelerate large language models with low-bit optimizations around Intel IPEX LLM. IPEX LLM was previously sunset by Intel in focusing on upstream. The documentation at least remains available for those interested before it gets too stale.
[10]RTOS IF Drivers - Intel Elkhart Lake I/O drivers for the Zephyr real-time OS.
[11]Multi-Rail Power Sequencer - A project for monitoring and sequencing up to 144 power rails.
