BLAS1_C
Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms
Level 1
Single Precision Complex Arithmetic


BLAS1_C, a FORTRAN90 library which constitutes the Level 1 Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms (BLAS), for vector-vector operations using single precision complex arithmetic, by Charles Lawson, Richard Hanson, David Kincaid, Fred Krogh.

The BLAS are a small core library of linear algebra utilities, which can be highly optimized for various architectures. Software that relies on the BLAS is thus highly portable, and will typically run very efficiently.

The Level 1 BLAS are primarily for use in vector operations. In certain cases, they may also be used to operate on the rows or columns of a two-dimensional array.
