BLAS-like Extensions

Intel® oneAPI
 Math Kernel Library
 provides C and Fortran routines to extend the functionality of the BLAS routines. These include routines to compute vector products, matrix-vector products, and matrix-matrix products.
Intel® oneAPI
 Math Kernel Library
 also provides routines to perform certain data manipulation, including matrix in-place and out-of-place transposition operations combined with simple matrix arithmetic operations. Transposition operations are Copy As Is, Conjugate transpose, Transpose, and Conjugate. Each routine adds the possibility of scaling during the transposition operation by giving some
alpha
 and/or
beta
 parameters. Each routine supports both row-major orderings and column-major orderings.
Table

Data Types
Description
s, d, c, z
Computes groups of vector-scalar products added to a vector.
s, d, c, z
Scales two vectors, adds them to one another and stores result in the vector (routines).
s, d, c, z
Computes a matrix-matrix product with general matrices but updates only the upper or lower triangular part of the result matrix.
c, z
Computes a scalar-matrix-matrix product using matrix multiplications and adds the result to a scalar-matrix product.
s, d, c, z
Computes
scalar-matrix-matrix products and adds the results to scalar matrix products for groups of
 general matrices.
c, z
Computes a scalar-matrix-matrix product using matrix multiplications and adds the result to a scalar-matrix product.
s, d, c, z

Intel's compilers may or may not optimize to the same degree for non-Intel microprocessors for optimizations that are not unique to Intel microprocessors. These optimizations include SSE2, SSE3, and SSSE3 instruction sets and other optimizations. Intel does not guarantee the availability, functionality, or effectiveness of any optimization on microprocessors not manufactured by Intel. Microprocessor-dependent optimizations in this product are intended for use with Intel microprocessors. Certain optimizations not specific to Intel microarchitecture are reserved for Intel microprocessors. Please refer to the applicable product User and Reference Guides for more information regarding the specific instruction sets covered by this notice.
