Our product is primarily a FORTRAN- or C-callable library of math
subroutines, so I cannot claim to have the same flexibility of the
matrix languages such as IDL or O-Matrix. As for speed, we tend
to run BLAS2 in the 15-25 mflop range and BLAS3 in the 25-35 mflop
range on a single CPU, up to 150+ mflops for some of the more
important subroutines like matrix multiply on a four-CPU system.
