Revision as of 14:26, 25 July 2011 by Davepc (talk | contribs) (moved BLAS/LAPACK to BLAS LAPACK ScaLAPACK: Adding ScaLAPACK documentation.)
A de facto standard API for linear algebra BLAS/LAPACK
- Original http://www.netlib.org/blas/ http://www.netlib.org/lapack/ - implemented in Fortran. The libraries can be used in C/C++ (so called Fortran interface to BLAS/LAPACK).
- ATLAS http://math-atlas.sourceforge.net/ - provides a C interface to BLAS and partially LAPACK. Binary packages: libatlas-[base or platform name, for example sse2]
- MKL http://software.intel.com/en-us/intel-mkl/ - Intel implementation
Using the C interface is preferable. BLAS: overview, installation, usage
