-# Optimized BLAS and LAPACK

-# however, they are now deprecated and should not be used.

+# Atlas
+# -----
+# Atlas is an open source optimized implementation of the BLAS and Lapack
+# routines. Numpy will try to build against Atlas by default when available in
+# the system library dirs. To build numpy against a custom installation of
+# Atlas you can add an explicit section such as the following. Here we assume
+# that Atlas was configured with ``prefix=/opt/atlas``.
+#
+# [atlas]
+# library_dirs = /opt/atlas/lib
+# include_dirs = /opt/atlas/include
+
+# OpenBLAS
+# --------
+# OpenBLAS is another open source optimized implementation of BLAS and Lapack
+# and can be seen as an alternative to Atlas. To build numpy against OpenBLAS
+# instead of Atlas, use this section instead of the above, adjusting as needed
+# for your configuration (in the following example we installed OpenBLAS with
+# ``make install PREFIX=/opt/OpenBLAS``.

+# MKL is Intel's very optimized yet proprietary implementation of BLAS and
