a precedent like this was created by Nathann Cohen and others, who created installation instructions and interfaces to use for optimisation solvers CPLEX, etc. See http://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/thematic_tutorials/linear_programming.html#using-cplex-or-gurobi-through-sage Dima > David > > >> Ahmed >> >> On Tuesday, March 19, 2013 at 2:43:44 AM UTC-4, Dima Pasechnik wrote: >>> >>> On 2013-03-19, Volker Braun <vbrau...@gmail.com> wrote: >>> > ------=_Part_1140_29982224.1363660802496 >>> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 >>> > >>> > Yes, thats it. >>> > >>> > On Monday, March 18, 2013 10:26:55 PM UTC-4, jason wrote: >>> >> >>> >> A while ago they posted on the numpy list telling people that Intel >>> was >>> >> offering MKL licenses to them because they were an open-source >>> >> scientific Python project: >>> >> >>> >> >>> http://numpy-discussion.10968.n7.nabble.com/MKL-licenses-for-core-scientific-Python-projects-td32530.html >>> >>> >> >>> >> Is this MKL license through the same sort of program? >>> I imagine it's on per site basis. >>> >>> Could we at least get MKL for the Sage UW cluster? >>> (preferably, for Skynet, too...) >>> >>> Dima >>> >>> -- >> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups >> "sage-devel" group. >> To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an >> email to sage-devel+...@googlegroups.com <javascript:>. >> To post to this group, send email to sage-...@googlegroups.com >> <javascript:>. >> Visit this group at https://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel. >> For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. >> > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
