axle vs BigDL

axle

Message-passing kernel + userspace (by codyd51)

Accelerate local LLM inference and finetuning (LLaMA, Mistral, ChatGLM, Qwen, Baichuan, Mixtral, Gemma, etc.) on Intel CPU and GPU (e.g., local PC with iGPU, discrete GPU such as Arc, Flex and Max). A PyTorch LLM library that seamlessly integrates with llama.cpp, Ollama, HuggingFace, LangChain, LlamaIndex, DeepSpeed, vLLM, FastChat, etc. (by intel-analytics)

One thing I just realised it's worthwhile to show: the POSIX interfaces I mentioned above are just wrappers around message-passing.
For example, read() is a function implemented in an optional userspace library that's available for programs to link against. When invoked, it constructs and sends a message with the right parameters to the filesystem server, and awaits its response: https://github.com/codyd51/axle/blob/paging-demo/programs/su...
