Talk:Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms

message: Should the reference to uBLAS as a BLAS be given a caveat, seeing as it isn't a BLAS implementation but a C++ container class template system?
----
How about a note for IBM's BLAS tuned for the Cell Processor? Is this important?

I created a section with a new heading: Other libraries with Blas functionality. I hope I sorted all the libraries correctly into the two categories.... 16 Feb. 2010. KJ  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kristjan.Jonasson (talk • contribs) 01:05, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  scalar dot products? 

message: I've twice reverted the introduction of a link to MATTLAS BLAS.  (I was wrong about the age of the project.) The text is:
:;MATTLAS BLAS: A modern task based LGPL BLAS implementation written in C++, currently supporting the AVX instruction set for x86_64. 
Following the link to github.com, the project README states:
:MATTLAS (Matt's Linear Algebra Subroutines) is a high performance BLAS implementation.  I am using this BLAS (Basic Linear Algebra Subroutines) implementation primarily for research purposes, however, I intend to produce something of high quality that should be competitive with enterprise vendor solutions.  MATTLAS is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License, version 3.  This is a very early alpha, so please submit bugs when you find them.  Also, the library currently only supports AVX and x64 on linux.
By its own statements, this implementation is a personal project in "very early alpha". I don't see anything that suggests stature or reliable sources.  Consequently, I believe the mention is WP:UNDUE.
The other BLAS implementations are well-known efforts (e.g., MKL and Goto) or at least university efforts.  For example, there was a recent addition of BLIS; that project has technical reports (the second TR has many coauthors) and claims funding by Microsoft and NSF. Although the technical reports are not secondary sources, both TRs claim they have been submitted to journals or conferences.
The MATTLAS BLAS doesn't yet belong in an encyclopedia. I'd revert it again, but I'm at my basic revlimit. Glrx (talk) 23:54, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, there's now a very reliable source that MATTLAS BLAS is an enterprise-quality implementation. Sarcasm mode off: I've reverted it. This is clearly a one man project with no mention beyond the guy's various webpages. It has no forks on GitHub, no issues or discussion there or on Launchpad, and it isn't even mentioned in any of his publications. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 22:24, 21 October 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  MATTLAS BLAS 

message: Articles about single BLAS functions will likely never rise above the level of WP:HOWTO; this one certainly hasn't. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 13:39, 20 October 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Proposed merge with [[AXPY]] 

message: Same reasoning as with the former article AXPY, except this one actually some interesting content that does not violate WP:HOWTO. This content should probably be split between the BLAS article and matrix multiplication (unless there's a specific page on matrix product algorithms?). QVVERTYVS (hm?) 21:37, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Proposed merge with [[General Matrix Multiply]]

message: This article would be more useful if it described the most notable applications for BLAS. I know that matrix math is used in a wide range of applications from neural networks to the design of nuclear bombs, but are there particular applications or classes of applications that tend to use BLAS specifically rather than other library interface specifications? 67.188.1.213 (talk) 20:42, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
