According to the Enthought website, the EPD Python distribution uses MKL for numpy and scipy. Does EPD Free also use MKL? If not does it use another library for BLAS/LAPACK? I am using EPD Free 7.3-2

Also, what library does the windows binary installer for numpy that can be found on scipy.org use?

The EPD Free 7.3 installers do not include MKL. The BLAS/LAPACK libraries which they use are ATLAS on Linux & Windows and Accelerate on OSX.

  • It's now included in the free version of [Enthought Canopy](https://www.enthought.com/products/canopy), which seems to be the replacement for [EPD](https://www.enthought.com/products/epd/). – askewchan Oct 16 '13 at 12:44

According to this table, EPD Free 7.3 does not include Intel's MKL.
