Hello I think this idea is the way to go (maybe along with an ACML build, but my limited testing seemed to indicate that MKL works on AMD CPUs).
In fact, I apparently proposed it about a year ago: https://svn.enthought.com/enthought/ticket/899 No takers so far... Cheers, Albert P.S. NumPy on Windows and Linux built with MKL works like a charm for me. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Christopher Barker" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Discussion of Numerical Python" <numpy-discussion@scipy.org> Sent: Tuesday, December 11, 2007 7:28 AM Subject: Re: [Numpy-discussion] Changing the distributed binary for numpy 1.0.4 for windows ? > Andrew Straw wrote: >> A function >> could be called at numpy import time that specifically checks for the >> instruction set on the CPU running > > Even better would be a run-time selection of the "best" version.
