Hi, Recently I became aware that Microsoft R Open provides accelerated matrix algebra computations through Intel's Math Kernel Libraries. However, the version of R shipped with the Microsoft R Open is too out of date to be able to use concurrently with other dependencies while developing our package. This thread suggests a way to get the updated matrix libraries with a more recent version of R, however it is unlikely to be approved by our IT admin since those of us in government agencies aren't typically given admin privileges: Linking Intel's Math Kernel Library (MKL) to R on Windows - Stack Overflow <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38090206/linking-intels-math-kernel-library-mkl-to-r-on-windows>
Is there a reason why CRAN doesn't provide a version of R with the updated libraries such that developers don't have to recompile R or copy .dlls around as described above? It would help those of us running software with slow-running matrix calculations in R. Thanks, Christine -- Christine C. Stawitz, PhD.
