[Numpy-discussion] Confused with qr decomposition function

2012-11-19 Thread Virgil Stokes
I am using the latest versions of numpy (from numpy-1.7.0b2-win32-superpack-python2.7.exe) and scipy (from scipy-0.11.0-win32-superpack-python2.7.exe ) on a windows 7 (32-bit) platform. I have used import numpy as np q,r = np.linalg.qr(A) and compared the results obtained from MATLAB (R2010B

Hi, it was mainly developed by one person and he left for Intel. They relicensed GotoBLAS to BSD 3 clauses and some Chinese people forked it to OpenBLAS. There was another fork, but I didn't got news of it. Maybe I just missed the news. Fred On Mon, Nov 19, 2012 at 12:20 PM, Daniele Nicolodi w

I think NumPy and SciPy should consider to use OpenBLAS (a fork of GotoBLAS2) instead of ATLAS or f2c'd Netlib BLAS for the binary releases. Here are its virtues: * Very easy to build: Just a makefile, no configuration script or special build tools. * Building ATLAS can be a PITA. So why bothe
