Notes about the release files

Where not specifically indicated in the name the packages targets a generic x86-64 CPU architecture and use the OpenBLAS library for matrix operations.

Some specific packages are designated like the following:

• nehalem, haswell and skylake are optimized for specific Intel CPU micro-architectures.
• dynamic use OpenBLAS to choose at run-time the optimized functions for you CPU and cover a large range of Intel and AMD CPUs.
• gslcblas use the reference GSL BLAS implementation and will be much slower than OpenBLAS for large matrix or vector operations but will work for any CPU.

The Linux packages comes in two flavours: AppImage and simple archives that can be extracted in any directory. For the archive type the executables are placed in the "bin" subdirectory.
