BLAS Technical Forum

The final draft of the BLAS Technical Forum standard is available.

Reference implementations and test suites for the routines in Fortran95, Fortran77, and C, are in preparation.

• Reference implementation for the Fortran 95 interface to the Sparse BLAS (December, 2000)
• Reference implementation for the C interface to the Extended and Mixed Precision BLAS (January, 2001)
• Reference implementation for the C interface to the Legacy BLAS (March, 1999)
  • cblas.h
• Reference implementation for the Fortran95 interface to the Legacy BLAS
