Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms (BLAS), a term I encountered w hile working with the LLAMA (LLM model from Meta) on my windows machine seems to directly affect the performance of the model's inference. Most probably you (like me) already have BLAS capabilities on your windows machine and may be missing on the chance to leverage its capabilities. Lets understand the steps to ensure you are aware of BLAS and its implementation on your machine. Introduction: Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms (BLAS) is the standard that outlines a collection of fundamental routines designed to execute prevalent linear algebra operations, including vector addition, scalar multiplication, dot products, linear combinations, and matrix multiplication. Universally recognized as the standard foundational routines for linear algebra libraries, BLAS routines offer bindings for both C, through the "CBLAS interface," and Fortran, known as the "BLAS interface." While the BLAS specification is
