Description : The ATLAS (Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra Software) project is
: an ongoing research effort focusing on applying empirical
: techniques in order to provide portable performance. At present,
: it provides C and Fortran77 interfaces to a portably efficient
: BLAS implementation, as well as a few routines from LAPACK.
:
: The performance improvements in ATLAS are obtained largely via
: compile-time optimizations and tend to be specific to a given
: hardware configuration. In order to package ATLAS some compromises
: are necessary so that good performance can be obtained on a
: variety of hardware. This set of ATLAS binary packages is
: therefore not necessarily optimal for any specific hardware
: configuration. However, the source package can be used to compile
: customized ATLAS packages; see the documentation for information.
