Detailed Description

template<typename OrdinalType, typename ScalarType>
class Teuchos::BLAS< OrdinalType, ScalarType >

The Templated BLAS Wrapper Class.

The Teuchos::BLAS class provides functionality similar to the BLAS (Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms). The BLAS provide portable, high- performance implementations of kernels such as dense std::vector multiplication, dot products, dense matrix-stdvector multiplication and dense matrix-matrix multiplication.

The standard BLAS interface is Fortran-specific. Unfortunately, the interface between C++ and Fortran is not standard across all computer platforms. The Teuchos_BLAS class provides C++ bindings for the BLAS kernels in order to insulate the rest of Petra from the details of C++ to Fortran translation.

In addition to giving access the standard BLAS functionality. Teuchos::BLAS also provide functionality for any <ScalarType> class that defines the +, - * and / operators.

Teuchos::BLAS is a single memory image interface only. This is appropriate since the standard BLAS are only specified for serial execution (or shared memory parallel).

Note:

1. These templates are specialized to use the Fortran BLAS routines for scalar types float and double.

2. If Teuchos is configured with --enable-teuchos-stdcomplex then these templates are specialized for scalar types std::complex<float> and std::complex<double> also.

Examples:

BLAS/cxx_main.cpp.
