Summary:"The Extended or Level 2 BLAS is intended to improve the performance of portable programs on high-performance computers. In this paper we examine where Extended BLAS routines may be inserted in the LINPACK, such that no changes in the parameter list have to be made. We also discuss why, for some algorithms, a simple restructuring in terms of level 2 BLAS fails. We do not attempt to re-design the algorithms or to change the data structure. We concentrate on the translation of calls to original (Level 1) BLAS into calls to Level 2 BLAS in order to improve readability, modularity and efficiency. This examination results in a still portable subset of the LINPACK with a better performance than the original routines. The measured performances of original and modified LINPACK routines on the CDC CYBER 990, CDC CYBER 205, CRAY X-MP, and the NEC SX-2 are compared and analyzed."
