Even better would be a run-time selection of the "best" version. I've often fantasized about an ATLAS that could do this. I think the Intel MKL has this feature (though maybe only for Intel processors). The MKL runtime is re-distributable, but somehow I doubt that we could have one person buy one copy and distribute binaries to the entire numpy-using world --- but does anyone know? http://www.intel.com/cd/software/products/asmo-na/eng/346084.htm and http://www.intel.com/cd/software/products/asmo-na/eng/266854.htm#copies -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
