The BLAS-like Library Instantiation Software (BLIS) is a framework for rapid instantiation of high-performance libraries with Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms (BLAS) functionality. The framework is hosted on
GitHub 1 . This invitation-only annual workshop brings together various parties from academia and industry who have an interest in BLIS in particular and dense linear algebra libraries in general. If you would like to be invited, kindly contact Robert van de Geijn at
rvdg@cs.utexas.edu 2 .
The BLIS Retreat is an invitation-only workshop that brings together contributors to BLIS as well as those with a keen interest in the project.
The BLIS Retreats in 2013,
