[jira] [Commented] (SPARK-6019) Document linking with high-performance BLAS libraries

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-6019?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14516026#comment-14516026 ] 

Xiangrui Meng commented on SPARK-6019:
--------------------------------------

The linking part is actually quite complicated. I think we should only provide a link to netlib-java (https://github.com/fommil/netlib-java) for instructions.

> Even though we may not be able to provide high-performance BLAS libraries (due to licenses, system dependencies, etc.), we could provide better documentation about how to link with such libraries on various systems.  This could be a new section in the MLlib programming guide.
> Tuned libraries can be much faster than default ones.  See discussion [on this dev@spark thread | http://apache-spark-developers-list.1001551.n3.nabble.com/Using-CUDA-within-Spark-boosting-linear-algebra-td10481.html].
