Maybe you can find out more about Microsoft's development/release
process for MRO and why they're still on 4.0.2 (from June 2020)? I
followed the "user forum" link on their web page, but it appears to be a
generic Windows forum ...
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum%20=ropen
I might tweet at @revodavid (David Smith) to see if there's any more
information available about the MRO release schedule ...
good luck,
Ben Bolker

Hi Christine,
MKL is a closed-source commercial product (yes, one can get it for free, but it
is not libre/open-source software).
Best,

Subject: [Rd] Linking to Intel's MKL on Windows
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version of R shipped with the Microsoft R Open is too out of date to be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
