[Numpy-discussion] Building numpy with ATLAS

[Shitikanth Kashyap]

Hey Everyone,

I am trying to build numpy-1.11.1 with ATLAS libraries. The build completes successfully, and 
I am able to use numpy, but there seems to be some problem with my config because 
numpy only ever uses one core, even when multiplying 5000x5000 matrices with numpy.dot.

My site.cfg is:

[default]
library_dirs = /u3/s4kashya/.local/atlas3.11/lib:/u3/s4kashya/.local/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib
include_dirs = /u3/s4kashya/.local/atlas3.11/include:/u3/s4kashya/.local/include:/usr/local/include:/usr/include

[atlas]
libraries = ptlapack, ptf77blas, ptcblas, atlas
library_dirs = /u3/s4kashya/.local/atlas3.11/lib
include_dirs = /u3/s4kashya/.local/atlas3.11/include


Output from numpy.__config__.show():

atlas_3_10_blas_threads_info:
   libraries = ['tatlas', 'ptlapack', 'ptf77blas', 'ptcblas', 'atlas']
   library_dirs = ['/u3/s4kashya/.local/atlas3.11/lib']
   define_macros = [('HAVE_CBLAS', None), ('NO_ATLAS_INFO', -1)]
   language = c
   include_dirs = ['/u3/s4kashya/.local/atlas3.11/include']
lapack_opt_info:
   libraries = ['tatlas', 'tatlas', 'tatlas', 'ptlapack', 'ptf77blas', 'ptcblas', 'atlas']
   library_dirs = ['/u3/s4kashya/.local/atlas3.11/lib']
   define_macros = [('NO_ATLAS_INFO', -1)]
   language = f77
   include_dirs = ['/u3/s4kashya/.local/atlas3.11/include']

Any ideas what could be going wrong?
