New releases of

openblas         (source)

New upstream release
http://www.openblas.net/Changelog.txt

* Support Intel Boardwell and Skylake by Haswell kernels.
* Support AMD Excavator by Steamroller kernels.

DESCRIPTION
OpenBLAS is an optimized BLAS library based on GotoBLAS2 1.13
BSD version and further extended.
OpenBLAS is licensed under the 3-clause BSD license.

HOMEPAGE
http://www.openblas.net/

CYGWIN NOTES
1) As BLAS it is around 5-10 times faster than Netlib reference,
   included in the liblapack0 package.

2) No devel package is provided as liblapack-devel already provide
   the needed headers and import.
   Openblas is fully compatible with Netlib BLAS.

3) libopenblas consist of a single file
     /usr/bin/cygblas-0.dll
   that will precede in PATH the liblapack0
     /usr/lib/lapack/cygblas-0.dll
   and used instead. Removing libopenblas will restore the
   usage of Netlib BLAS

4) CPU architecture covered up to now

   64 bit
    ATOM BARCELONA BOBCAT BULLDOZER CORE2 DUNNINGTON HASWELL
    NANO NEHALEM OPTERON OPTERON_SSE3 PENRYN PILEDRIVER
    PRESCOTT SANDYBRIDGE STEAMROLLER

   32 bit
    ATHLON ATOM BANIAS BARCELONA BOBCAT COPPERMINE CORE2
    DUNNINGTON KATMAI NANO NEHALEM NORTHWOOD OPTERON
    OPTERON_SSE3 PENRYN PRESCOTT

5) Built with a max number of 16 threads; it should be enough
   to fully utilize up a 8 core dual thread.
   The fixed max limit at build time is a upstream limitation,
   if you need more than 16 let me know.
