Similar to the CUDA case, you can compile bitsandbytes from source for Linux and Windows systems.
It does not need compile CPP codes, all required ops are in [intel_extension_for_pytorch](https://pytorch-extension.intel.com/), please follow the instruction to install ipex.

The below commands are for Linux. For installing on Windows, please adapt the below commands according to the same pattern as described [the section above on compiling from source under the Windows tab](#cuda-compile).

```
git clone --depth 1 -b multi-backend-refactor https://github.com/bitsandbytes-foundation/bitsandbytes.git && cd bitsandbytes/
pip install intel_extension_for_pytorch
cmake -DCOMPUTE_BACKEND=cpu -S .
make
git clone --depth 1 -b multi-backend-refactor https://github.com/bitsandbytes-foundation/bitsandbytes.git && cd bitsandbytes/
pip install -e . # `-e` for "editable" install, when developing BNB (otherwise leave that out)
```
