# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.  Line
# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' on
# the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.  You must make
# exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also customary to
# leave one space after the ':'.

blas: BLAS (Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms)
blas:
blas: The BLAS (Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms) are routines that provide
blas: standard  building  blocks  for  performing  basic  vector and matrix
blas: operations.The Level 1 BLAS perform scalar, vector, and vector-vector
blas: operations,the Level 2 BLAS perform matrix-vector operations, and the
blas: Level 3 BLAS  perform matrix-matrix  operations. Because the BLAS are
blas: efficient, portable, and  widely available, they are commonly used in
blas: the development of high quality linear algebra software.
blas: Note: This package contains the reference *unoptimized* BLAS library.
