Apple pushes their Accelerate framework pretty heavily as "the" way to do vector stuff rather than directly writing to a SIMD extension. But I don't have a sense of how widely it's used in practice.
- physicsguy 6y agoThey push it but it’s not updated in things people who care about numerical programming care about so they don’t use it. It used to be the case if you used NumPy on a Mac it would use Accelerate but it no longer does because the BLAS/LAPACK API is so outdated.
- glhaynes 6y agoUgh, that sucks. Thanks for the info.
