Swim Open Sources Its Machine Learning Platform for Edge Computing

There's more open source software headed for edge computing deployments. Swim, the four-year-old San Jose-based startup whose platform for real-time analytics at the edge has been running as a proprietary product licensed to specific customers, this week announced an open source version of the platform licensed under the Apache 2.0 license. The Open Source Edge Intelligence Platform, as the project is now called, is a Java Virtual Machine extension that's used in place of a traditional stack to analyse streaming data on the fly. The software works through mesh-connected "digital twins" that utilize machine learning to predict changes in the data being created. It's used by enterprises, equipment manufacturers, and Internet of Things businesses to locally process and analyze large amounts of streaming data.
