Yet another failed attempt to build julia with MKL

[ChrisRackauckas]

Just to throw some older tests in here:

Benchmark MATLAB & Julia for Matrix Operations

To add another datapoint, here are the results on a 32-core node on our cluster, with and without threading and comparing OpenBLAS and MKL: https://github.com/barche/julia-blas-benchmarks/blob/master/BenchmarkResults.ipynb I also reran the HPL linpack test, here are the results: Standard HPL OpenBLAS, 32 MPI processes on a single node: 757 Gflops Standard HPL MKL, 32 MPI processes on a single node: 788 Gflops Intel HPL MKL, 32 MPI processes on a single node: 814 Gflops Intel HPL MKL, 2 MP…

The biggest difference seems to be if you solve a bunch of linear systems. This is noticeable for solving stiff ODEs BTW.
