Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

1. 01

   Limited language support, primarily C++

   The library is mainly developed in C++, which may limit accessibility for developers proficient in other languages.

2. 02

   Performance optimizations are Intel-specific

   Optimizations tailored to Intel architectures might result in suboptimal performance on non-Intel hardware.

3. 03

   Smaller community and less frequent updates compared to popular open-source alternatives

   The library's community is relatively small, which can lead to slower issue resolution and fewer contributions.

4. 04

   Complex setup process for non-Intel environments

   Setting up the environment on non-Intel hardware or operating systems may require additional configuration steps and troubleshooting.

What it does well

• High-performance data analytics algorithms optimized for Intel architectures.

• Supports batch, online, and distributed processing modes.

• Extensive algorithmic building blocks for various stages of data analysis.
