DESCRIPTION

BSD version and further extended.
OpenBLAS is licensed under the 3-clause BSD license.
HOMEPAGE
http://www.openblas.net/
CYGWIN NOTES
1) As BLAS it is around 5-10 times faster than Netlib reference,
included in the liblapack0 package.
2) No devel package is provided as liblapack-devel already provide
the needed headers and import.
Openblas is fully compatible with Netlib BLAS.
3) libopenblas consist of a single file
/usr/bin/cygblas-0.dll
that will precede in PATH the liblapack0
/usr/lib/lapack/cygblas-0.dll
and used instead. Removing libopenblas will restore the
usage of Netlib BLAS
4) CPU architecture covered up to now

5) Built with a max number of 16 threads; it should be enough
to fully utilize up a 8 core dual thread.
The fixed max limit at build time is a upstream limitation,
if you need more than 16 let me know.
