Are optimized BLAS libraries available?
YES! Machine-specific optimized BLAS libraries are available for a variety of computer architectures. These optimized BLAS libraries are provided by the computer vendor or by an independent software vendor (ISV). For further details, please contact your local vendor representative. Alternatively, the user can download ATLA S to automatically generate an optimized BLAS library for his architecture. If all else fails, the user can download a Fortran77 reference implementation of the BLAS from netlib. However, keep in mind that this is a reference implementation and is not optimized.
