Hi,

I am thinking of contribution to OpenBLAS, in particular using  GCC's function multi versioning if it hasn't been added already.  How to I go about getting write access to
the github.com repository?

Thanks,

Tom

I found a way of creating a fork, etc... (with help from a colleague more versed in this than I) so I can make whatever changes I _think_ I should make, then create a PR.  So I didn't need write access to the repo.

So, leaving aside FMV for the moment (which could get hairy), I will look over issues on github page and see if there is some low hanging fruit for me to work on.

Hi  Xianyi,

This LWN article (it's free now, it isn't behind a paywall anymore)

describes what FMV can do.  I find this to be a better description of what it does
than what is provided in the GCC docs.

Tom
