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.
