Wait, this should look at GOTO_NUM_THREADS AND OMP_NUM_THREADS as well: https://github.com/xianyi/OpenBLAS/blob/c43ec53bdd00d9423fc609d7b7ecb35e7bf41b85/README.md#setting-the-number-of-threads-using-environment-variables

GOTO_NUM_THREADS comes from the original GOTOBLAS library. Nobody should be using it!

For OMP, I thought that only applies if you build with OpenMP for threading - which we don't. I think we should only look at OPENBLAS_NUM_THREADS.

As a matter of fact OpenBLAS respects those variables. If you set them you can see with BLAS.get_num_threads that OpenBLAS changes the setting accordingly

Yup it does. I was just saying that we may only want to use one of them and only document that. However, I don't have a strong opinion if we want to use the other ones - but what should we do if more than one of those environment variables are present?

If any of those variables is set, we shouldn't override it. See #46118 🙂

BLAS.set_num_threads(max(1, Sys.CPU_THREADS ÷ 2))
@static if Sys.isapple() && Base.BinaryPlatforms.arch(Base.BinaryPlatforms.HostPlatform()) == "aarch64"
BLAS.set_num_threads(max(1, Sys.CPU_THREADS))
else
BLAS.set_num_threads(max(1, Sys.CPU_THREADS ÷ 2))
end
end
