Does datatable use blas/lapack? If it doesn't is there any reason not to? I assume it would offer more performance if used |

Nope, all the datatable dependencies are listed here: https://github.com/h2oai/datatable/blob/main/ci/ext.py#L418-L426 As for the blas/lapack/boost — do you have any specific routines in mind to be re-used from these libraries? These are pretty big libs, adding them as dependency will hugely increase amount of the datatable source code and also the building time. |

just an assumption, based on its usage within numpy. I just assumed, with no proofs, that it gives some performance boost to warrant the dependencies. |

I guess numpy is using lapack/blas for linear algebra routines: https://numpy.org/doc/stable/reference/routines.linalg.html In datatable I don't think we have any linear algebra tools. We only have |

We also have some borrowed code with the appropriate licenses here: https://github.com/h2oai/datatable/tree/main/src/core/lib
