Abstract
This paper describes a model implementation and test software for the Level 3 Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms (Level3 BLAS). The Level3 BLAS are targeted at matrix-matrix operations with the aim of providing more efficient, but portable, implementations of algorithms on high-performance computers. The model implementation provides a portable set of Fortran 77 Level 3 BLAS for machines where specialized implementations do not exist or are not required. The test software aims to verify that specialized implementations meet the specification of the Level 3 BLAS and that implementations are correctly installed.
