- Worth noticing
- Its matmul walkthrough reports 557 GFLOP/s, while noting PyTorch's vendor-BLAS comparison reaches 1,820 GFLOP/s.
Field notes
The quick start lists CMake 3.24 or newer and a C++20 compiler, then directs readers to clone the GitHub repository and run its tests. The page reports that tests compare against PyTorch, including 783 generated golden cases across 67 operations. Its performance section breaks CPU matmul into six implementation steps and explicitly identifies PyTorch's comparison as using Apple's vendor BLAS.
