-     "ATLAS is an automatically tuned linear algebra software library
-providing C and Fortran77 interfaces to a portably efficient BLAS
-implementation, as well as a few routines from LAPACK.
-
-Optimization occurs at build time.  For this reason, the library is built on
-the machine where it is installed, without resorting to pre-built substitutes.
-
-Before building the library, CPU throttling should be disabled.  This can be
-done in the BIOS, or, on GNU/Linux, with the following command:
-
-@example
-# cpupower --governor performance
-@end example
-
-Failure to do so will result in a library with poor performance.")
