Abstract

A package of 38 low level subprograms for many of the basic operations of numerical linear algebra m presented. The package is intended to be used with Fortran. The operations m the package include dot product, elementary vector operation, Givens transformation, vector copy and swap, vector norm, vector scaling, and the determination of the index of the vector component of largest magnitude.
