Looking at thin matrix SVD, it appears much faster than everyone else. I’m curious what it’s doing differently at a high level and if there’s any tradeoff in accuracy. I also wonder how it compares to MKL, which is typically the winner in all these benchmarks on Intel.

im in the process of refactoring the benchmark code at the moment, and plan to include mkl in the benches soon.

overall, the results show that faer is usually faster, or even with openblas, and slower than mkl on my desktop

Wow, that's impressive! I wouldn't expect anything to be able to beat MKL, given the optimizations made based on proprietary information.
