Package: libopenblas-base Severity: wishlist Currently, Debian installs the version of OpenBLAS that uses pthreads parallelism. In addition to this, or perhaps instead of this, it would be nice to have a version that uses OpenMP parallelism (compile with USE_OPENMP=1).
The main reason for an OpenMP version of OpenBLAS is that this makes OpenBLAS easier to use from software that is already parellelized with OpenMP -- the software and the OpenBLAS library can then share the same thread pool and coordinate their usage. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.5 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/16 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
