Hi R-devel list, OpenBLAS is readily available for unix-likes:
https://cloud.r-project.org/web/packages/gcbd/vignettes/gcbd.pdf However, my questions are: 1) Would R-devel consider using OpenBLAS for the main distribution of R for all platforms including Windows? 2) If so, would R-devel set the default multi-thread level to the number of (real) cores on a machine? My sense is there're a lot of wasted resources on laptops and personal desktops around the world that could be utilised by such a switch. I believe most unix-like users don't know about OpenBLAS and are blissfully ignorant of the available speed gains. It seems to be quite difficult for a typical Windows user to get this done today. Thanks heaps, Kenny [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
