Dear All,

I know that some of what are Level 2 and Level 3 routines are given in the 
file 'hpl.chpl' of the benchmarks, has anybody got Routines, or a Module 
which implement BLAS for Chapel? It may just be an interface into some C
routines, or as Chapel itself, especially given that many components of 
Level 1 BLAS can be implemented extremely cleanly, if sub-optimally as

        NRM2

                s = + reduce [i in x.domain] x[i] ** 2;

                // The above can overflow & underflow badly, and more
                // importantly has poor accuracy characteristics unless
                // 'x' satisfies certain criteria and in practice, would
                // and should be implemented in a more effective fashion.

        ASUM

                s = + reduce [i in x.domain] abs(x[i]); // can also overflow

        AMAX

                i = maxloc reduce [i in x.domain] abs(x[i]);

        SWAP

                x <=> y;

        COPY

                x = y

        SCALE

                x *= a


        AXPY
                y += a * x

while for the implementations of

        ROTG

                Compute Given's Rotation

        ROTMG

                Compute Modified Given's Rotation

        ROT

                Apply Given's Rotation

        ROTM

                Apply Modified Given's Rotation

need lots more code than 1-liners and

        DOT

                vector inner product

while it can be expressed as a reduction, has lots of variants.
