* General:
+ Reworked the unfinished implementation of `HUGETLB` from GotoBLAS
for allocating huge memory pages as buffers on suitable systems.
+ Changed the unfinished implementation of `GEMM3M` for the generic
target on all architectures to at least forward to regular GEMM.
+ Improved multithreaded `GEMM` performance for large non-skinny
matrices.
+ Improved BLAS3 performance on larger multicore systems through
improved parallelism.
+ Improved performance of the initial memory allocation by reducing
locking overhead.
+ Improved performance of `GBMV` at small problem sizes by introducing
a size barrier for the switch to multithreading.
+ Added an implementation of the `CBLAS_GEMM_BATCH` extension.
+ Fixed corner cases involving the handling of NAN and INFINITY
arguments in `?SCAL` on all architectures.
+ Fixed NAN handling and potential accuracy issues in compilations
with Intel ICX by supplying a suitable fp-model option by default.
+ It is now possible to register a callback function that replaces
the built-in support for multithreading with an external backend
like TBB (`openblas_set_threads_callback_function`).
+ Fixed potential duplication of suffixes in shared library naming.
+ Improved C compiler detection by the build system to tolerate
more naming variants for gcc builds.
+ Fixed an unnecessary dependency of the utest on CBLAS.
+ Fixed spurious error reports from the BLAS extensions `utest`.
+ Fixed unwanted invocation of the `GEMM3M` tests in cross-
compilation.
+ Fixed a flaw in the makefile build that could lead to the

openSUSE specific packaging =========================== OpenBLAS provides optimized implementations of BLAS and LAPACK. openSUSE provides three variants: * Serial library (libopenblas_serial0) * With OpenMP support (libopenblas_openmp0) * With threading support (libopenblas_pthreads0) By defult openSUSE uses pthreads version on x86 systems and OpenMP for other architectures. On x86 systems OpenBLAS uses dynamic architectures support, so it contains all CPU-related optimizations. How to switch between the various BLAS/LAPACK implementations ============================================================= BLAS: sudo /usr/sbin/update-alternatives --config libblas.so.3 LAPACK: sudo /usr/sbin/update-alternatives --config liblapack.so.3 More information is available at: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Science_Linear_algebra_libraries
