So is this Elbrus the arch the Russians will be focusing on after getting kicked out of SWIFT and all the other related sanctions (for killing innocent people in Ukraine in case somebody doesn't know)?

Neoverse N2 support is the interesting bit to me. Does that mean OpenBLAS now supports ARM SVE2?

Somebody should stop spreading FUD. But yeah Russia have been developing and integrating this arch into goverment systems for the last ten or so years.

It'd be nice to see some Elbrus performance numbers...

You forgot that USA and its allies killed thousands innocent people in Japan, Vietnam, Somalia, Afghanistan, Iraq and Palestine (still).

What does that have to do with russia's impending invasion of ukraine and slaughter of innocent people? Are you trying to imply that its somehow ok because "other countries have done bad things too!" Sounds like toddler reasoning to me

Yes:

https://github.com/xianyi/OpenBLAS/releases/tag/v0.3.20

added SVE-enabled CGEMM and ZGEMM kernels for ARMV8SVE and A64FX

That's your western opinion (or what your media put in your head). For someone else they are defending their own country.

I see people here try to criticize Russia and China whenever they are mentioned. It is like western countries are the innocent peaceful countries that do not hurt any other people.
Why no one talk about "The Zionist entity" whenever It is mentioned. Aren't they invading Palestine and slaughtering innocent people.
Why no one talk about France whenever It is mentioned. Aren't they controlling African countries by military forces to benefit freely from their natural resources.
Please, stop being hypocrites.

I don't like to bring politics into Tech forums and I hate when someone does. That's why I responded to him.

The US Afghanistan war is just second-hand, the Russians started and lost it.
