\section*{Introduction}

Since the introduction of BLAS 1 in the early 70s'~\cite{BLAS1}, the
numerical linear algebra community has made tremendous progress in the
generation of high-performance libraries. Nowadays BLAS consists of
three levels, corresponding to routines for vector-vector,
matrix-vector and matrix-matrix operations~\cite{BLAS2,BLAS3}.  From a
mathematical perspective, it might appear that this structure
introduces unnecessary duplication: For instance, a matrix-matrix
multiplication (a level 3 routine) can be expressed in terms of
matrix-vector products (level 2), which in turn can be expressed in
terms of inner products (level 1).  Beyond convenience, the layered
structure is motivated by the efficiency of the routines: Due to the
increasing ratio between operation count and number of memory
accesses---about 1/2, 2 and $n$/2 for BLAS 1, 2, and 3,
respectively---, higher-level operations offer better opportunity to
amortize the costly memory accesses with calculations.  In practice,
this means that level 3 routines attain the best performance and
should be preferred whenever possible.
