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. |
