How should I run my Julia code using libjulia-openblas64 package on Ubuntu 20.10?
I have Ubuntu 20.10 installed. Also I have simple program written in Julia language:
using LinearAlgebra
println(LinearAlgebra.BLAS.vendor())
M = 500;
c = [ sin(a + b.^2) for a in 1:M, b in 1:M]
t0 = time();
g = LinearAlgebra.eigvals(c);
t = time() - t0
println("t=", t)
m = maximum(real(g))
println("m=", m)
if M == 500
@assert isapprox(m, 16.914886, rtol=1e-6)
end
I see interesting package in the repositories - libjulia-openblas64
. Its file list contains only .so library. I expect performance optimizations for running Julia code.
But when I install this package, I miss the julia
executable. So the question is in the title.
$ dpkg -l | grep julia
ii libjulia-openblas64:amd64 0.3.10+ds-3ubuntu1 amd64 Optimized BLAS (linear algebra) library (julia version)
$ julia
bash: julia: command not found
$ sudo apt-get install julia

Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] q
Really one should not try to use libjulia-openblas64
package directly but should use default julia
package which already contains OpenBLAS library and uses it.
