The MKL-based NumPy is around 4 times faster than the Accelerate Framework, and is faster than Atlas as well (2-3x). It should be possible to incorporate MKL with the NumPy/SciPy in Macports. Intel allows free download of its MKL libraries for non-commercial use: http://software.intel.com/en-us/a

py-numpy and py-scipy have atlas variants which use the atlas port instead of the Accelerate framework. The atlas port does tune to your processor. Have you tried that? I have Cc'ed Adam, the maintainer of these ports, if he could comment on their performance with the atlas variant? Maybe the In

My main reason for using Enthought Python is that they build Numpy and Scipy with intel MKL libraries -- these are significantly faster than the Accelerate framework on the Mac which MacPorts Numpy and Scipy use. It would be great if MacPorts can include the Intel MKL runtime libraries in their di

Hello, I have two installations of Python 2.7.2 -- from MacPorts and Enthought -- on my Mac. I use the Enthought Python as the primary one for performance reasons(MKL Blas included); however, my MacPorts distribution has several additional packages like pymacs, rope etc., which I would like to mak
