[Numpy-discussion] what do I get if I build with MKL?

What sorts of functions take advantage of MKL? Linear Algebra (equation solving)? Something like dot product? exp, log, trig of matrix? basic numpy arithmetic? (add matrixes) ___ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org

Hi, I think you have at least linear algebra (lapack) and dot. Basic arithmetics will not benefit, for expm, logm... I don't know. Matthieu 2013/4/19 Neal Becker ndbeck...@gmail.com What sorts of functions take advantage of MKL? Linear Algebra (equation solving)? Something like dot

For the matrix multiplication or array dot, you use BLAS3 functions as they are more or less the same. For the rest, nothing inside Numpy uses BLAS or LAPACK explicitelly IIRC. You have to do the calls yourself. 2013/4/19 Neal Becker ndbeck...@gmail.com KACVINSKY Tom wrote: You also get
