Description Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2017-10-27 08:16:13 UTC
Description of problem:
Please BuildRequire: openblas instead of atlas where available (currently: x86_64 %{ix86} armv7hl %{power64} aarch64 s390x, see %{openblas_arches} macro defined in openblas-srpm-macros package).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.4.6-10.fc27

Additional information:
A lot of benchmarks around the net suggest openblas is faster than ATLAS in most workloads:

Many Fedora packages have switched to openblas already (e.g. scalapack and all dependent ones and numpy).

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 28 development cycle.
Changing version to '28'.

Comment 2 Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2018-07-16 12:45:51 UTC
Ping? OpenBLAS is now available for s390x as well, so all primary arches are covered.

I will merge the above in a week or so if there's no response here.
