Has anyone succeeded in getting a parallel BLAS, such as Goto's BLAS, installed on a machine running Ubuntu 11.10?
I currently have the libatlas3gf-base package installed on a machine with an AMD Athlon X4 processor. I tried to install the libopenblas-base and libopenblas-dev packages but there seemed to be a glich related to having both libopenblas and libatlas3gf installed so that when I tried to recompile R it failed to start because one of the ATL symbols from Atlas was undefined. Is it worthwhile making a custom version of Atlas? Every time I try to compile a local version of Atlas it fails because of CPU Throttling being enabled. I suppose I could reboot after tweaking the BIOS then compile then shutdown then tweak the BIOS but that seems like a complicated route to getting optimized BLAS. _______________________________________________ R-SIG-Debian mailing list [email protected] https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-debian
