We are seeking a volunteer developer for Numeric who will remove the current BLAS/LINPACK lite stuff in favor of linking to whatever the native version is on a particular machine. The current default is that you have to work
This should take several volunteers; nobody has access to all machine types!
A truly excited volunteer would widen the amount of stuff that the interface can get to. They would work via the CVS tree; see
That is not necessary; a full BLAS/LAPACK interface has existed for years, written by Doug Heisterkamp. In fact, the lapack_lite module is simply a subset of it. By some strange coincidence I have worked a bit on this just a few days ago. I have added a compilation/installation script and added thread support (such that LAPACK calls don't block other threads). You can pick it up at ftp://dirac.cnrs-orleans.fr/pub/ as a tar archive and as RPMs for (RedHat) Linux.
