Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the BLAS backend configuration and reviewing how macOS OpenBLAS is selected; investigate whether Apple's vecLib can be supported, especially on M1 systems. Done means a supported vecLib backend with documented setup and validation against the existing backends.

Description

Hello Team,

It seems openblas on MacOS can be replaced by the system default blas implementation called veclib, R language support it as the backend instead of default openblas et.al on MacOS systems. I am wondering whether this is possible because for new apple processors like M1 series, Intel-mkl is not supported and openblas is slower compare to default veclib (at lease in R experience it is). I cannot find so many info about veclib online so it may requires some additional investigation.

Thanks,

Jianshu
