Hi Bill, Currently usable MLAPACK routines are only 90 among total about 660. Just fortran to C conversion is completed.
Purpose of MPACK I'd like to provide reference build. based on that others can provide faster implementations like GotoBLAS, ATLAS, intel MKL etc. For Benchmark issue... There is an implementation of Rgemm DD by Mukunoki-san and using GPGPU. It's 30 times faster than my reference routine.
