===Linear algebra libraries=== | |||
openSUSE uses reference BLAS and LAPACK implementations by default, but ATLAS is usually much faster. You can switch it by update-alternatives mechanism: | |||
/usr/sbin/update-alternatives --config libblas.so.3 | |||
/usr/sbin/update-alternatives --config liblapack.so.3 | |||
Example: | |||

===Image export and import=== | |||
GraphicsMagick++ library from openSUSE repositories was compiled with quantum depth 16 which limits reading and writing images to 16 bit. See more details on [[GraphicsMagick]] wiki page. | |||
