No. BLIS is a framework for sequential and shared-memory/multicore implementations of BLAS-like operations. If you need distributed-memory dense linear algebra implementations, we recommend the [Elemental](http://libelemental.org/) library.
### Can I build BLIS on Windows / Mac OS X?
### Can I build BLIS on Mac OS X?
BLIS was designed for use in a GNU/Linux environment. However, we've gone to greath lengths to keep BLIS compatible with other UNIX-like systems as well, such as BSD and OS X. System software requirements for UNIX-like systems are discussed in the BLIS [Build System](BuildSystem.md) guide.
### Can I build BLIS on Windows?
Support for building in Windows is not directly supported. However, Windows 10 now provides a Linux-like environment. We suspect this is the best route for those trying to build BLIS in Windows.
If all you need is a Windows DLL of BLIS, you may be in luck! BLIS uses [AppVeyor](https://ci.appveyor.com/) to automatically produces dynamically-linked libraries, which are preserved on the site as "artifacts". To try it out, just visit the [BLIS AppVeyor page](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/shpc/blis/), click on the `LIB_TYPE=shared` link for the most recent build, and then click on "Artifacts". And if you'd like to share your experiences, please join the [blis-devel](http://groups.google.com/group/blis-devel) mailing list and send us a message!
