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.

You can find What's New features per release on Intel(R) DAAL Release Notes web page and latest documentation on the Intel(R) Data Analytics Acceleration Library Documentation web page.
With the introduction of daal4py, a package that supersedes PyDAAL, Intel is deprecating PyDAAL and will discontinue support starting with Intel® DAAL 2021 and Intel® Distribution for Python 2021. Until then Intel will continue to provide compatible pyDAAL pip and conda packages for newer releases of Intel DAAL and make it available in open source. However, Intel will not add the new features of Intel DAAL to pyDAAL. Intel recommends developers switch to and use daal4py.
We welcome community contributions to Intel DAAL. If you have an idea how to improve the product:
- Let us know about your proposal via https://github.com/intel/daal/issues or Intel(R) DAAL Forum
- Make sure you can build the product and run all the examples with your patch
- In case of a larger feature, provide a relevant example
- Submit a pull request at https://github.com/intel/daal/pulls
We will review your contribution and, if any additional fixes or modifications are necessary, may give some feedback to guide you. When accepted, your pull request will be merged into our internal and GitHub* repositories.

Intel DAAL supports the IA-32 and Intel(R) 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.
List of supported Operating Systems and tools may be found at Intel DAAL web site.
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:
- Getting Started with Intel(R) Data Analytics Acceleration Library for Windows*
- Getting Started with Intel(R) Data Analytics Acceleration Library for Linux*
- Getting Started with Intel(R) Data Analytics Acceleration Library for macOS*
You can download an archive from the GitHub* release page at https://github.com/intel/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.
