BLAS1 is a C++ library which implements the Level 1 Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms (BLAS).
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, such as vector norms, dot products, vector scaling, and the addition of a scalar multiple of one vector to another.
While the entries of a typical vector are stored continguously in memory, many BLAS1 routines allow the user to specify a vector by locating its first element, and giving an increment to be used to locate the successive elements. An increment of +1 corresponds to the typical vector; however, by specifying other increments, a "logical" vector can be selected that is actually a row, column, or even a diagonal of a two-dimensional array.
The Level 1 BLAS are available in both real and complex arithmetic versions, and using single precision or double precision. In most cases, a given BLAS function has a root name, such as AXPY, and prefix is used to identify the arithmetic and precision. Thus,

BLAS1 is available in a C version and a C++ version and a FORTRAN77 version and a FORTRAN90 version and a MATLAB version.
