Re:Fast.ai and why Python is not the future of ML with Jerem... by ChrisRackauckas on Tuesday September 08, 2020 @01:27PM (#24410603)
To share the details, here's a post demonstrating Tullio.jl, a Julia-based higher order tensor library, is faster than OpenBLAS for gemm kernels:

And PaddedMatrices.jl is another example:

So there isn't just one example but multiples at this point. RecursiveFactorization's `lu` tends to perform better than MKL for small matrices and this is what we use in the differential equation solvers when there are <100 ODEs.

That's all on CPUs though. KernelAbstractions.jl is the GPU version and that's still being constructed but moving strong.
