Class Blas


  • public class Blas
    extends Object

    This class contains Java versions of a number of the LINPACK basic linear algebra subroutines (blas):

    1. isamax_j
    2. daxpy_j
    3. ddot_j
    4. dscal_j
    5. dswap_j
    6. dnrm2_j
    7. dcopy_j
    8. drotg_j
    It also contains utility routines that the translator found useful while translating the FORTRAN code to Java code. "col" indicates that the routine operates on two columns of a matrix. "colv" indicates that the routine operates on a column of a matrix and a vector. The "p" at the end of dscalp, dnrm2p, and dcopyp indicates that these routines operate on a portion of a vector:
    1. colisamax_j
    2. colaxpy_j
    3. colvaxpy_j
    4. colvraxpy_j
    5. coldot_j
    6. colvdot_j
    7. colscal_j
    8. dscalp_j
    9. colswap_j
    10. colnrm2_j
    11. dnrm2p_j
    12. dcopyp_j
    13. colrot_j
    14. sign_j

    IMPORTANT: The "_j" suffixes indicate that these routines use Java style indexing. For example, you will see for (i = 0; i < n; i++) rather than (FORTRAN style) for (i = 1; i <= n; i++) To use the "_j" routines you will have to fill elements 0 through n - 1 of vectors rather than elements 1 through n. [Also, before using the isamax and colisamax methods make sure that they are doing what you expect them to do.] Versions of these programs that use FORTRAN style indexing are also available. They end with the suffix "_f77".

    This class was translated by a statistician from FORTRAN versions of the LINPACK blas. It is NOT an official translation. When public domain Java numerical analysis routines become available from the people who produce LAPACK, then THE CODE PRODUCED BY THE NUMERICAL ANALYSTS SHOULD BE USED.

    Meanwhile, if you have suggestions for improving this code, please contact Steve Verrill at sverrill@fs.fed.us.
