BLAS2
Level 2 Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms


BLAS2 is a FORTRAN90 library which implements the Level 2 BLAS, or Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms.

The BLAS are a small core library of linear algebra utilities, which can be highly optimized for various architectures. Software that relies on the BLAS is thus highly portable, and will typically run very efficiently.

The Level 2 BLAS are designed to handle a variety of matrix-vector operations.

Languages:

BLAS2 is available in a FORTRAN90 version and a FORTRAN77 version.

Related Data and Programs:

BLAS1, a FORTRAN90 library which handles vector-vector operations.

BLAS3, a FORTRAN90 library which handles matrix-matrix operations.

LAPACK_EXAMPLES, a FORTRAN90 program which demonstrates the use of the LAPACK linear algebra library.
