On a related note, does anybody know MAGMA (not the number theory

I've been keeping an eye on MAGMA and PLASMA.
Also, the other day, Ralph Gommers announced on the scipy list [1] that
Intel was offering free MKL licenses for building/testing scientific
python software (specifically, stuff listed at
http://numfocus.org/projects-2/projects/). In a later message [2], he
said Intel would be pleased if they offered binaries for download that
were built against MKL. I assume this means the end-user would still
have to have an MKL license; if so, it doesn't completely resolve the
ATLAS/OpenBLAS issue in this thread. However, as long as we are talking
about switching BLAS implementations, it might be interesting to also
look at what it would take to build against MKL. If there is interest,
we might try asking Intel about the same sort of deal for distributing
Sage binaries built against MKL.
Thanks,
Jason
