"It would be interesting to compare Intel MKL vs. AMD ACML vs. threaded ATLAS." what is the best way to do this? Is there a program or code I can test? I too think this is interesting. On Thu, Dec 2, 2010 at 7:51 AM, Mag Gam wrote: > Thanks. I will monitor this ticket an starting building it on

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
