My IT people have set up R on a a Kubuntu box with an RWkard front end.? I have OpenBLAS set up as a shared BLAS but I'm not sure how to get R to see it.? A.3.1 of the installation docs talks about it but I'm not clear if I need a option on my startup line or if I need to find a config file.? The BLAS is is in: ? /usr/lib/openblas-base ? on my machine. I'm not sure how to confirm that

I'm setting up an Ubuntu?virtual machine?that will use 4-Intel Xeon CPU x5650.? I'd like to compile R with a BLAS but the question is whcih one.? Seems like the only free ones are GotoBLAS which I'm not sure is being maintained for newer CPUs and OpenBLAS for Loongson CPUs.? I saw a favorable report on OpenBLAS

Dear list, What is the recommended incantation on Fedora 32 to swap out the openblas BLAS that the packaged (rpm) version of R-core installs for ATLAS? I'm running into some problems with some big models I want to fit using the mgcv package, and openblas is apparently not thread safe and is causing problems. I have the following installed: $ dnf list installed | grep ^R R-core.x86_64

Hello, I thought that I should try openblas when building a CRAN package containing lots of old (twentieth century) C-code with frequent calls to blas and lapack routines. I have the following options on my Ubuntu 20.04 machine: Selection Path Priority Status ------------------------------------------------------------ * 0

Hi! I am a current maintainer of the R slackbuild script (for Slackware GNU/Linux distribution). I received requests from users to build R with --enable-R-shlib and --enable-BLAS-shlib, so now I am trying to decide whether to do so by default. Is there a downside to building R with either option? -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed... Name: signature.asc

Of course, even a simpler trick is to launch R as follows: LD_PRELOAD=/lib64/atlas/libsatlas.so.3 R and then the symbols in libsatlas take precedence over libopenblas. Or a mix between both alternatives, i.e., setting LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/some/link R and then change that link to point to openblas, atlas... Whatever suits you best.

Hello, macosx 10.13.6, Rdevel r76458 I'm trying to compile against openblas to reproduce an error on the CRAN check page (my package is clean under winbuilder and all but one of the checks). I've downloaded and installed openblas 0.3.7 but I am not 100% sure that it is being used by R. Using ./configure --with-blas="-lopenblas" Then running R to discover the PID I get:

I’ve installed R 3.1 with the latest Fedora rpm (R-3.1.0-5.el6.x86_64.rpm) and I run into some issues with openblas. I’ve documented this with an open question on stack overflow here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24158372/openblas-r-3-1-and-fedora-centos-dist Basically before 3.1 I had 3.02 and I was able to install and use openblas following the instruction from official CRAN

It seems like many of the multi-threaded BLASes have some sort of fundamental problem preventing use in the way Juan suggests: - Dirk's vignette states that ATLAS "fixes the number of cores used at compile-time and cannot vary this setting at run-time", so any user-friendly implementation for R would have to compile ATLAS for 1-16 threads to allow the user to switch at run-time.

Julia Programming Language uses also OpenBlas, and it is actively maintained with bugs being fixed as I have checked it out: http://www.openblas.net/Changelog.txt So I still see it ok to be included as an options(...) feature (by default off, just for safety), over other Blas libraries. R could not use Intel MKL for legal reasons (I think), because as long that R ships with GPL libraries,

Please pardon my ignorance, but doesn't OpenBLAS still not always play nicely with multi-threaded OpenMP? (for example, don't race conditions sometimes crop up)? If so, it might be nice to have the ability to temporarily disable multi-threaded OpenMP (effectively: omp_set_num_threads(1)) for the duration of operations using OpenBLAS. Regards Ben > Julia using OpenBLAS is *very*

On point 1): The standard approach seems to favor the reference BLAS for reasons other than speed. For example, vecLib, Apple's multi-threaded BLAS library, is not the default choice for macOS binaries due to concerns about 'precision'. See: https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/macosx/RMacOSX-FAQ.html#Whic h-BLAS-is-used-and-how-can-it-be-changed_003f This doesn't appear to be Mac-

Hi R-devel list, OpenBLAS is readily available for unix-likes: https://cloud.r-project.org/web/packages/gcbd/vignettes/gcbd.pdf However, my questions are: 1) Would R-devel consider using OpenBLAS for the main distribution of R for all platforms including Windows? 2) If so, would R-devel set the default multi-thread level to the number of (real) cores on a machine? My sense is there're a

I run Fedora 22 R package. It is build with --with-lapack \ --with-blas \ --enable-R-shlib \. As the machine will act as a server with lots of R data computing, I try to optimize my R package. At first, I installed parallel_studio_xe_2016 with a free one year licence. Then, I build a package for R with Intel MKL and compiler. This took me lots of time as it was my first .rmp build. I finally

Thanks Keith. We checked, and indeed libopenblas is not linked against libomp nor libgomp. We suspect this is because we used conda to install R and OpenBLAS. So I guess we should be barking up the conda tree instead? By the way, I also noticed on my home machine (Ubuntu), /usr/lib/libopenblas.so.0 is also not linked against those, for what that's worth.

Hi, I tried to compile R with openblas on a ubuntu 12.04 machine. I have to say that I normally use the package system and that I have no experience with compiling R. I did the following: ./configure --enable-BLAS-shlib --enable-R-shlib LIBnn=lib --with-blas="-L/usr/lib/openblas-base/ -lopenblas" --enable-memory-profiling --with-x=yes go the output: R is now configured for

Thanks Dirk, Sorry about that, but my real question was (see below): "Is the problem that openblas uses C versions of blas?" That is, do I need to change F77_CALL(name)(...); to cblas_name(...); everywhere? And if so, is

I didn't do the compile; is there a way to check whether that was used? If not, I'll inquire with our sysadmin and report back. In any case, my suggestion was motivated by the fact that some parts of R use OpenMP while others do not, in the hope that the former could have their OpenBLAS omelet without breaking the OpenMP eggs, so to speak.
