[Numpy-discussion] Numpy, BLAS & LAPACK

[Joris De Ridder]

Just to be sure, what exactly is affected when one uses the slower
algorithms when neither BLAS or LAPACK is installed?  For sure it
will affect almost every function in numpy.linalg, as they use
LAPACK_lite. And I guess that in numpy.core the dot() function 
uses the lite numpy/core/blasdot/_dotblas.c routine? Any other
numpy functions that are affected?
