Can Intel DAAL / Intel MKL be Open Sourced?

[sirinath]

It would be good if HPAT dependencies and other numeric and parallel computing libraries are FOSSed under a permissive license.

I don't know the plans for open-source release of those libraries. However, HPAT should be able to work with any back-end since it can generate input/output transformations. We plan to support alternative open-source libraries.

[sirinath]

What libraries do you plan to support and are there benchmarks for these libraries?

[ehsantn]

We are still looking for options. There aren't many distributed-memory machine learning libraries. Do you have any suggestions?

[sirinath]

My suggestion would be to get the above 2 open sourced.

Thank you for the suggestions. We will look into supporting more back-end libraries. Contributions are also welcome.
