#1674: Switch to OpenBLAS --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: eschnett | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: review Priority: major | Milestone: Component: Other | Version: development version Resolution: | Keywords: --------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
Comment (by eschnett):
At the moment, Cactus builds the reference BLAS if it doesn't find a system BLAS. Instead, it should build OpenBLAS. Building Atlas is more complicated since Atlas auto-tunes, which also takes a long time. OpenBLAS does not need this, and is apparently also faster than Atlas. (I don't know what this means in practice.)
