Full description
OpenBLAS is an optimized Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms (BLAS)
library based on GotoBLAS2 1.13 BSD version. It was forked when
Mr. Kazushige Goto left TACC and GotoBLAS became unmaintained. In
general, BLAS is the computational kernel ("the bottom of the food
chain") in linear algebra or scientific applications. Thus, if
your BLAS implementation is highly optimized, the whole
application can substantially benefit. OpenBLAS has optimized code
for modern architectures, and has accrued many other features and
bug fixes beyond GotoBLAS.
