I found MKL is ~1.5 times slower than openblas for matrix-matrix multiplication (both without multithreading). Since I’m using intel CPU, I expected MKL to be faster. Is there anything obviously wrong in this benchmark? Or is it not unexpected for MKL to be slower than openblas? using LinearAlgebr…
