Does Microsoft open R come with pre-compiled BLAS that is optimized for matrix
computations?
Thanks,
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
You can achieve substantial speed up by using a faster BLAS (e.g., OpenBLAS or
MKL), especially on systems with multiple CPUs. On my (6 year old, but 8 core)
system your example takes 3.9 seconds with using the reference BLAS and only
0.9

Hi Ravi,
Like Ista, I have also had success in using R with OpenBLAS on our Linux
compute cluster.
This will involve installing R from source. If you'd like, I can send you
the configure settings I used, as well as the environment settings used to
control OpenBLAS multithreading. The CRAN site
Yeah, you might not be able to go much faster here unless A has some
specialized structure that you can take advantage of (e.g., sparsity)?

Hi Ravi,
You can achieve substantial speed up by using a faster BLAS (e.g.,
OpenBLAS or MKL), especially on systems with multiple CPUs. On my (6
year old, but 8 core) system your example takes 3.9 seconds with using
the reference BLAS and only 0.9 seconds using OpenBLAS.

Hi,
I would like to compute: A %*% B %*% t(A)
A is a mxn matrix and B is an nxn symmetric, positive-definite matrix, where m
is large relative to n (e.g., m=50,000 and n=100).
Here is a sample code.
M <- 1
N <- 100
A <- matrix(rnorm(M*N), M, N)
B <- crossprod(matrix(rnorm(N*N),
