FNLMath : Basic Matrix/Vector Operations : Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms
Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms
The basic linear algebra subprograms, normally referred to as the BLAS, are routines for low-level operations such as dot products, matrix times vector, and matrix times matrix. Lawson et al. (1979) published the original set of 38 BLAS. The IMSL BLAS collection includes these 38 subprograms plus additional ones that extend their functionality. Since Dongarra et al. (1988 and 1990) published extensions to this set, it is customary to refer to the original 38 as Level 1 BLAS. The Level 1 operations are performed on one or two vectors of data. An extended set of subprograms perform operations involving a matrix and one or two vectors. These are called the Level 2 BLAS (see Specification of the Level 2 BLAS). An additional extended set of operations on matrices is called the Level 3 BLAS (see Specification of the Level 3 BLAS).
Users of the BLAS will often benefit from using versions of the BLAS supplied by hardware vendors, if available. This can provide for more efficient execution of many application programs. The BLAS provided by IMSL are written in FORTRAN. Those supplied by vendors may be written in other languages, such as assembler. The documentation given below for the BLAS is compatible with a vendor’s version of the BLAS that conforms to the published specifications.
Programming Notes for Level 1 BLAS
The Level 1 BLAS do not follow the usual IMSL naming conventions. Instead, the names consist of a prefix of one or more of the letters “I”, “S”, “D”, “C”, and “Z”; a root name; and sometimes a suffix. For subprograms involving a mixture of data types, the output type is indicated by the first prefix letter. The suffix denotes a variant algorithm. The prefix denotes the type of the operation according to the following table:
I
Integer
 
 
S
Real
C
Complex
D
Double
Z

SD
Single and Double
CZ

Vector arguments have an increment parameter that specifies the storage space or stride between elements. The correspondence between the vectors x and y and the arguments SX and SY, and INCX and INCY is
Function subprograms SXYZ and DXYZ refer to a third vector argument z. The storage increment INCZ for z is defined like INCX and INCY. In the Level 1 BLAS, only positive values of INCX are allowed for operations that have a single vector argument. The loops in all of the Level 1 BLAS process the vector arguments in order of increasing i. For INCX, INCY, INCZ < 0, this implies processing in reverse storage order.
The function subprograms in the Level 1 BLAS are all illustrated by means of an assignment statement. For example, see SDOT. Any value of a function subprogram can be used in an expression or as a parameter passed to a subprogram as long as the data types agree.
Descriptions of the Level 1 BLAS Subprograms
The set of Level 1 BLAS are summarized in Table 6. This table also lists the page numbers where the subprograms are described in more detail.
Specification of the Level 1 BLAS
With the definitions,
MX = max {1, 1 + (N  1)|INCX|}
MY = max {1, 1 + (N  1)|INCY|}
MZ = max {1, 1 + (N  1)|INCZ|}
the subprogram descriptions assume the following FORTRAN declarations:
 
IMPLICIT INTEGER (I-N)
IMPLICIT REAL S
IMPLICIT DOUBLE PRECISION D
IMPLICIT COMPLEX C
IMPLICIT DOUBLE COMPLEX Z
 
INTEGER IX(MX)
REAL SX(MX), SY(MY), SZ(MZ),
SPARAM(5)
DOUBLE PRECISION DX(MX), DY(MY), DZ(MZ),
DPARAM(5)
DOUBLE PRECISION DACC(2), DZACC(4)
COMPLEX CX(MX), CY(MY)
DOUBLE COMPLEX ZX(MX), ZY(MY)
Since FORTRAN 77 does not include the type DOUBLE COMPLEX, subprograms with DOUBLE COMPLEX arguments are not available for all systems. Some systems use the declaration COMPLEX * 16 instead of DOUBLE COMPLEX.
In the following descriptions, the original BLAS are marked with an * in the left column.

Programming Notes for Level 2 and Level 3 BLAS
For definitions of the matrix data structures used in the discussion below, see Reference Material. The Level 2 and Level 3 BLAS, like the Level 1 BLAS, do not follow the IMSL naming conventions. Instead, the names consist of a prefix of one of the letters “S”, “D” , “C” , or “Z”. Next is a root name denoting the kind of matrix. This is followed by a suffix indicating the type of the operation.1 The prefix denotes the type of operation according to the following table:
S   Real

D   Double
Z   Double Complex
The root names for the kind of matrix:
GE   General
GB   General Band
SP   Symmetric Packed
SY   Symmetric
SB   Symmetric Band

Descriptions of the Level 2 and Level 3 BLAS
The subprograms for Level 2 and Level 3 BLAS that perform operations involving the expression βy or βC do not require that the contents of y or C be defined when β = 0. In that case, the expression βy or βC is defined to be zero. Note that for the _GEMV and _GBMV subprograms, the dimensions of the vectors x and y are implied by the specification of the operation. If TRANS = ’N’, the dimension of y is m; if TRANS = ’T’ or = ’C’, the dimension of y is n. The Level 2 and Level 3 BLAS are summarized in Table 9.2. This table also lists the page numbers where the subprograms are described in more detail.
Specification of the Level 2 BLAS
Type and dimension for variables occurring in the subprogram specifications are
 
INTEGER INCX, INCY, NCODA, NLCA, NUCA, LDA, M, N

DOUBLE PRECISION DALPHA, DBETA, DX(*), DY(*), DA(LDA,*)

There is a lower bound on the leading dimension LDA. It must be the number of rows in the matrix that is contained in this array. Vector arguments have an increment parameter that specifies the storage space or stride between elements. The correspondence between the vector x, y and the arguments SX, SY and INCX, INCY is
In the Level 2 BLAS, only nonzero values of INCX, INCY are allowed for operations that have vector arguments. The Level 3 BLAS do not refer to INCX, INCY.

COMPLEX CALPHA, CBETA, CA(LDA,*), CB(LDB,*), CC(LDC,*)
DOUBLE COMPLEX ZALPHA, ZBETA, ZA(LDA,*), ZB(LDB,*), ZC(LDC,*)
Each of the integers K, M, N must be 0. It is an error if any of them are < 0. If any of them are = 0, the subprograms return immediately. There are lower bounds on the leading dimensions LDA, LDB, LDC. Each must be the number of rows in the matrix that is contained in this array.
