I'm using M1pro and have successfully installed Numpy with Accelerate following, and it really speedup my programs. I also ran np.test() to check the correctness and every test passed.
However, I can't install Scipy with Accelerate, since the official document said Accelerate has a LAPACK of too old version. I can't even find a scipy that can pass scipy.test(). I tried the codes below:
conda install numpy 'libblas=*=*accelerate'
conda install scipy
np.test() as fails, sp.test() can't even finish
conda install numpy 'libblas=*=*openblas'
conda install scipy
Both np.test() and sp.test() can finish, but with many failures. I believe the bugs are due to Conda.
pip install --no-binary :all: --no-use-pep517 numpy
pip install scipy
np.test() has no failure and went fast, sp.test() uses OpenBLAS and has 3 failures. This is the best version I have found.
So my question is: can we find a reliable version of scipy on M1? Considering the popularity of scipy, I think it's not a high-living expectation.
And a question for Apple: is there really a plan to upgrade the LAPACK in Accelerate?
