BLAS1_C
Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms
Level 1
Single Precision Complex Arithmetic

BLAS1_C is a library of FORTRAN77 routines, using single precision complex arithmetic, which implement the Level 1 BLAS, or Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms.

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.
