The TWBLAS library is a set of selected level-2 and level-3 double precision BLAS with a exible interface
suitable for developing multithreaded applications. This document assumes that the reader has access to the
ESSL and LAPACK manuals and is familiar with the original routines for which themultithreaded variants
are provided. The following six computational routines are available:
1. TWGEMM
2. TWTRSM
3. TWSYRK
4. TWPOTRF
5. TWGEMV
6. TWDTRSV
Each routine has the standard LAPACK calling sequence, but has two additional integer input parameters
at the end. These are NUMTHREADS and PRIORITY. NUMTHREADS instructs the routine to execute
