Blas and Linpack Routines
The Blas routines are ``Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms'', while the
Linpack routines are a suite of linear equation solving routines. It is
common to find these routines, in an optimized form, on vector computers.
Additionally they are public domain routines in standard FORTRAN, making them
easy to port. The Miriad library (or a system library) has
these routines in their single precision real and complex forms.
There are a number of good references on Blas and Linpack routines
available (e.g. 4-1 and 4-38 in the Cray ``Library Reference Manual'',
or the Convex ``VECLIB Users Manual'').
