Summary Assembled by Curation Team

Software: Algorithm or Reusable Library
The BLAS (Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms) are routines that provide standard building blocks for performing basic vector and matrix operations. The Level 1 BLAS perform scalar, vector and vector-vector operations, the Level 2 BLAS perform matrix-vector operations, and the Level 3 BLAS perform matrix-matrix operations. Because the BLAS are efficient, portable, and widely available, they are commonly used in the development of high quality linear algebra software, LAPACK for example. The publications given in Section 3 define the specifications for the BLAS, and a Fortran77 reference implementation of the BLAS is located in the blas directory of Netlib, together with testing and timing software. For information on efficient versions of the BLAS, see Section 5.
