What about OpenBLAS?

• shaklee3 7y ago
  Openblas is significantly slower than mkl for most things, and doesn't have all the same features (only the blas part). It's also not developed by AMD. I think they need to take their software more seriously in general, since the best hardware doesn't matter with poor libraries.

    FWIW: AMD offers this: https://developer.amd.com/amd-aocl/blas-library/ https://developer.amd.com/amd-aocl/blas-library/ The source code is available on GitHub.

      I think AMD needs to take a page from Nvidia and really get their software together. The CPU and GPU libraries are a mess. There are multiple versions of libraries where in some cases both are maintained and it's not clear which to use, and in others, one is dead but may perform better than the new one. Intel and Nvidia let you download a single package for all scientific computing.
