There are other open source alternatives for BLAS and LAPACK that can be downloaded, built, and used:
* [http://www.netlib.org/lapack reference implementation of BLAS/LAPACK]
* [http://www.openblas.net/ OpenBLAS]
* [http://www.openblas.net/ OpenBLAS]
* [http://math-atlas.sourceforge.net/ ATLAS]
* [http://math-atlas.sourceforge.net/ ATLAS]
If you use any of these, be sure to build them with suitable optimizations using recent compilers. If possible, verify their efficiency relative to other implementations.

If you use any of these, be sure to build them with suitable optimizations using recent compilers. If possible, verify their efficiency relative to other implementations. The reference implementation in particular is not optimized for performance; it is not recommended for work where speed is important.
