      The ATLAS (Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra Software) project is an ongoing
      research effort focusing on applying empirical techniques in order to provide
      portable performance. At present, it provides C and Fortran77 interfaces to a
      portably efficient BLAS implementation, as well as a few routines from LAPACK.
