I was also interested from a lerning perspective whether anybody was rewriting Level2 and Level3 purely in Chapel to exploit the improved expressiveness, capabilities, and so on, of Chapel. That might also exploit some of the lessons learned by Dominguez's in his 2012 Thesis about UPCBLAS. It is reported the use of OpenBLAS with R causes clashes with some of R's own multithreading capabilities, although it is believed to be bugs rather than something more fundamantal. I know nothing about the insides of R and only a little about the insides of GotoBLAS so that might be a non-issue. > I consider this a priority for version 1.12, and hope that the code will > start showing up under GitHub within the next month or so...
