Technically sage doesn't ever call lapack directly. Most lapack calls are from 
numpy I think. So you would have to get numpy to compile against it.
You probably could make a creative use of the SAGE_ATLAS variable to point
to your implementation of f77blas/cblas/lapack you may have to create 
links appropriately.

[sage-devel] Alternate Lapack Versions?

2010-11-22 Thread Ethan Van Andel
In my development, I'm attempting to parallelize some code. However,
the bottleneck is a call to numpy.linalg.lapack_lite.zgesv, that is
the point where numpy calls LAPACK to solve my complex system of
linear equations. Ideally I'd like to parallelize this, and I know the
ScaLAPACK has a parallel version, pzgesv. Is ScaLAPACK supported by
Sage, or are there any plans to support it in the future? If not, I'll
have to look for workarounds.

Thanks,

Ethan Van Andel
