[Discuss] BLAS or LAPACK

[Owen Stampflee]

Funny, this just popped in a meeting yesterday...

I'm personally a fan of Goto BLAS, although Atlas is still quite good
but is a major PITA to build. 

Goto has a non-commercial license but we've found its the fastest, the
original BLAS implementation is quite honestly useless now-a-days if you
want to take advantage of your CPU.

Now if only Goto or Atlas supported the Cell, I'd be set!

Cheers,
Owen
