I know this thread is a bit outdated, but I had problems to compile Atlas in an experiment and wanted to ask if anybody has tried to use GotoBlas instead of Atlas in the meantime? -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email

I also can't build atlas on my (fairly) new but low-powered portable. So, I second that (although I admit I don't understand what all the issues are that might be involved.) -Mike On 12/10/2010 09:50:06 PM, Dima Pasechnik wrote: on a 4-years old x86 laptop I have, I usually just cannot build At

on a 4-years old x86 laptop I have, I usually just cannot build Atlas in Sage. It fails, as it's unable to perform their (in)famous tuning precisely enough. A replacement for Atlas would be nice, therefore... On Dec 10, 9:21 am, Bill Hart wrote: > So I don't know what is considered a fast time

So I don't know what is considered a fast time to build BLAS, but on my machine it was straightforward. I just typed make and it detected the number of cores, the architecture and built a multithreaded BLAS and LAPACK (which it automatically downloaded for me). It took about 90s to build and automa

This is *fantastic* news that GotoBlas has been BSD licensed. I've wanted to use it in FLINT for years, and we've just been discussing highly optimised matrix routines (Fredrik Johansson has been writing lots of code too). But I am slightly confused over the CBLAS interface thing. It seems that t

Seems like I didn't dig deep enough. So it isn't actively developed by the TACC anymore, it is given to the community to maintain and take over development. It only provides f77blas. I guess it would be possible to create a cblas interface using f2c but it is not really something anyone would wan
