Following various Intel open-source projects recently being archived with Intel formally discontinuing their development, another wave of Intel open-source projects were formally sunset on Monday.
This latest round of Intel open-source projects being archived were focused on various codebases targeting Google’s Go programming language. These Intel Go projects weren’t exactly popular or widely-used as far as I know so not necessarily a big impact besides those programmers that are fans of the Go system programming language as an alternative to the likes of C or Rust.
IXL-GO - A user-space library for Intel’s accelerators written in Go, This allows tapping the power of the Intel IAA and DSA accelerators from Go code for accelerated compression/decompression, faster CRC calculations, data filtering, and data movement when running on recent generation Intel Xeon processors.
forLAGraphGoM - An Intel generic implementation of LAGraph linear algebra for Go
forGraphBLASGo - Intel’s implementation of GraphBLAS for Go.
forGoParallel - Intel’s parallel programming library for Go as a fork of Pargo.
It sucks that they’re not embracing those projects anymore. Being said, I’ve never heard of any of those projects Which is probably a big reason of why they decided to scrap them. Lack of publicity
