@rvdg: Martin is right about the dynamic linking issue; the trick you mention only works with static libraries. @grisuthedragon I like your idea of augmenting the CBLAS runtime API since...

I'm a bit confused as to what this issue is really about. And to the extent that I understand it, I'm not quite sure why this issue was labeled as...

@loveshack Thanks for your contribution, Dave. I was not even aware of this [W line of parts](https://www.anandtech.com/show/13116/the-intel-xeon-w-review-w-2195-w-2155-w-2123-w-2104-and-w-2102-tested). (I was confused at first because "desktop SKX" seemed contradictory; up until now...
