Hi team, My gsoc project involves several tracks of works. And the following is a summary about the current progress: (The list is tracked at https://salsa.debian.org/lumin/gsoc2020-debian-blaslapack/-/blob/master/README.md and it will grow over time)
Threading-aware virtual blas (status: stopped) ---------------------------------------------- RFC https://lists.debian.org/debian-science/2020/05/msg00023.html Bumping system default blas/lapack provider (status: stopped) ------------------------------------------------------------- https://lists.debian.org/debian-science/2020/06/msg00022.html Conclusion: different BLAS/LAPACK have slightly different behaviour. Keeping the netlib blas/lapakc as the default provider is a preferrable choice, lest some reverse dependencies fail to build due to test errors. Deprecating libcblas -------------------- https://lists.debian.org/debian-science/2020/05/msg00050.html Status: already merged. lintian will report an INFO message when there is ELF binary linked against libcblas.so. Julia support ------------- https://lists.debian.org/debian-science/2020/05/msg00032.html Status: libopenblas64-julia is still waiting in the new queue. libflame (a better LAPACK) -------------------------- https://ftp-master.debian.org/new/libflame_5.2.0-1.html Status: still in NEW.
