Remarks

The classes in the Extreme.Mathematics.LinearAlgebra namespace use the standard Basic Linear Algebra Subroutines (BLAS) whenever possible. The Extreme Optimization Mathematics Library for .NET provides two implementations. One is in 100% managed code. The other calls a native, highly optimized, processor-specific kernel.

This class exposes properties that allow you to specify the BLAS objects that are to be used by the classes in this namespace.

You can select the managed implementation by calling the UseManaged()()()() method. To select the native implementation, call the UseNative()()()() method. The native kernel is used by default. This is the fastest option, especially for larger matrices, but also has a larger memory footprint.

Alternatively, you can plug in platform optimized versions by inheriting from the BlasLevel1, BlasLevel2, and BlasLevel3 abstract base classes.
