While the OpenBLAS team will focus on addressing sets of key technical issues, in particular thread-safety, AVX-512, and thread-local storage (TLS) issues, as well as algorithmic improvements in ReLAPACK (Recursive LAPACK) on which OpenBLAS depends.</p><p>More details on our proposed initiatives and deliverables can be found in the <a href=https://figshare.com/articles/Proposal_NumPy_OpenBLAS_for_Chan_Zuckerberg_Initiative_EOSS_2019_round_1/10302167>full grant proposal</a>. The work is scheduled to start on Dec 1st, 2019 and continue for the next 12 months.</p><p><a name=releases></a></p><h2 id=releases>Releases<a class=headerlink href=#releases title="Link to this heading">#</a></h2><p>Here is a list of NumPy releases, with links to release notes.
