If you're looking for an interesting but easy review, check out http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/7644 The patch implements power series reversion (inverse under composition) with under 20 lines of code (plus ~60 lines of docstring), using Lagrange inversion. If you need to remind yourse

It would be interesting to compare Intel MKL vs. AMD ACML vs. threaded ATLAS. The most useful optimization right now is probably to enable threading in ATLAS. None of the vendor libraries are free to distribute. While on the topic of ATLAS, let me plug my spkg at http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_tra

(Please ignore my original response to this thread, which I removed. I misread the simple one line question!) I found the following by googling: http://www.enthought.com/epd/mkl/ A developer once told me that MKL was worse than ATLAS. Perhaps it depends on the platform? Either that or Intel have

Sage is not a BLAS/Lapack. It is a large distribution of Open Source mathematical software (amongst other things). It does however include a BLAS. Do you mean has anyone compared Sage linked to ATLAS, etc. with Sage linked to MKL? I just googled ATLAS vs MKL and got this page, which seems to say

Its true that backward compatibility is not one of the goals of Fedora, but rather testing new AND existing code. But the two problems that prevent Sage from building on Fedora 14 affect everyone: mpir has a security issue and ecl/maxima contain invalid code that just happens to compile on older gc

Well fortunately there are exceptions to the rule, otherwise we would never update any spkg :-) Meanwhile, Sage still fails to build on Fedora, one of the most popular linux distributions, because the ecl/maxima update is stuck in limbo (http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/10187). On Nov
