You are already using BLAS in R as R includes its own BLAS library. On
Windows the 64-bit DLL is located at R_HOME\bin\x64\Rblas.dll.

If you are asking about swapping that out for an optimized BLAS, you will
probably have to:

  1. Obtain and build an optimized BLAS such as ATLAS, Goto BLAS or Intel
MKL

  2. Build your own copy of R from source that links against this new blas.

If there is a simpler way, I'm sure someone will correct me.
