Hi everyone, it may be time to revisit Sage & Intel's high-performance libraries—Intel's Community License Program launched a few months ago and gives no-cost, royalty-free licenses for MKL, TBB, IPP, & DAAL: https://software.intel.com/en-us/free_tools_and_libraries
You register, they send you a license key, and you can download the four libraries for the three major OSes (OS X, Linux, Windows). Note how this doesn't include the Intel C/C++ compiler: that you have to pay for. But you are free to compile your programs with clang/gcc and link them against MKL etc.—we do this regularly. Unfortunately, all the material I've been able to find on the web about Python/Numpy and Intel libraries involves using `icc`, the Intel compiler, rather than just using the free compiler toolchain and linking against MKL etc. Such documentation would be broadly useful to the community, not just Sage. Anybody have any further insight into this?
