How to know if my CPU supports BLAS?

[AayushSameerShah]

I am trying to run the project on Linux and I installed the library using following:

CMAKE_ARGS="-DLLAMA_BLAS=ON -DLLAMA_BLAS_VENDOR=OpenBLAS" pip install ctransformers

Q: How to know if my CPU supports BLAS?

Is there any way to know beforehand? I got no error, nothing.

One more note...

When I monitor the CPU usage while inference, it only uses 50% of the CPU.

Please help me get out of this. Thanks!

CMAKE_ARGS="-DLLAMA_BLAS=ON -DLLAMA_BLAS_VENDOR=OpenBLAS" pip install ctransformers

to compile, add no-binary as such: [...] pip install ctransformers --no-binary ctransformers

you don't; blas is software
