Re: [sc-dev] Microsoft testing Excel for supercomputers

Just a bit more;

for multi-cores, we should use parallel version of BLAS, LAPACK (like ATLAS, 
via pthread)
for clusters (many machines) we should use ScaLAPACK.
So we can do more with small effort :-)

I'm not sure which LP solver is the fastest. And currently lpsolve in OOo source
code tree doesn't call BLAS or LAPACK. (looks like intention is mainly on
mixed integer linear programming; see 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_programming )
