thank you Brian
if ACML is the problem I wonder if it ever was pointed out to AMD shame because ACML results in really nice performance on AMD hardware

dear experts

I'd like to ask you, probably on behalf all of us who try to use AMD's
ACML for performance optimisation a question.
There seem to be problem when these two, R and ACML are coupled,
described here:

I'd like to ask, while not being a programmer/developer, how incorrect
and dangerous this might be?
maybe such a setup must be avoided all together?

As an R developer is reputed to have said several years ago

'Do you want it fast or do you want it right?'

Handing NAs correctly is pretty fundamental to R's operation. There are several other optimized BLAS which are not known to work incorrectly, and I always use one of those.


many thanks & regards
