Announcement Summary

On August 25^th, Intel Corporation launched Intel® Data Analytics Acceleration Library (Intel® DAAL).  It is a library designed to help software developers reduce development time and boost performance of data analytics and machine learning applications. Intel® DAAL helps applications make better predictions faster, and analyze larger data sets with the available compute resources at hand. Intel® DAAL is designed, built and backed by Intel to help delight data scientists in their quest to efficiently turn Big Data into Information. Intel® DAAL was created by the same team that creates Intel® Math Kernel Library (Intel® MKL) which is renowned for both precision and performance. Those same renowned computational capabilities, that drive Intel® MKL, have been adopted, expanded and outfitted to handle the special needs of Big Data to create this new product Intel® DAAL. For Data Scientists, Intel® MKL and Intel® DAAL make a powerful combination for tackling Big Data.

For more details, see the Release Notes.

There is a webinar series running September 1 through November 10 (all available for replay afterwards) with a series of talks by Intel experts on the new tool capabilities and covering popular usage questions - http://tinyurl.com/webinars-intel2016.  The Intel DAAL talk is scheduled for September 29, 2015.
