BLASW is a header-only wrapper for BLAS and parts of the LAPACK library. It actually uses CBLAS and LAPACKE as backends. This library makes things easier by replacing the weird naming scheme of BLAS with meaningful ones and reducing the number of needed arguments for functions from 10-11 to 2-3. It also removes the need to manually find CBLAS and LAPACKE in CMake.

You can install BLASW system-wide by downloading the latest release. Make sure you have CMake, a C++ compiler, CBLAS and LAPACKE available on your system. Then run these in repository directory:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBLASW_INSTALL=ON -DBLASW_TESTS=OFF -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/ ..
sudo cmake --install .

The CMake options are:

• BLASW_INSTALL: Create install target for BLASW.
• BLASW_TESTS: Build the tests for BLASW.

Then you can use it in CMake:

find_package(BLASW REQUIRED)
add_executable(myexec main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(myexec BLASW::BLASW)

Or you can use BLASW as a CMake subdirectory by cloning the repository and putting it in your source directory and use it in CMake:

add_subdirectory(Blasw/)
add_executable(myexec main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(myexec BLASW::BLASW)
