The BLAS (Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms) are high quality "building block"
|
|
|
|
|
routines for performing basic vector and matrix operations. Level 1 BLAS do
|
|
|
|
|
vector-vector operations, Level 2 BLAS do matrix-vector operations, and Level
|
|
|
|
|
3 BLAS do matrix-matrix operations. Because the BLAS are efficient, portable,
|
|
|
|
|
and widely available, they're commonly used in the development of high quality
|
|
|
|
|
linear algebra software -- LINPACK and LAPACK, for example.

The original Fortran77 reference implementation of the BLAS is located in the
|
|
|
|
|
blas directory of Netlib. However, this port uses the updated sources
|
|
|
|
|
distributed with LAPACK.
