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.
|
|
|
|
A Fortran77 reference implementation of the BLAS is located in the blas
|
|
directory of Netlib.
