BLAS for Altera OpenCL

Hello,

Does anyone know if there is BLAS port available for Altera OpenCL? Maybe somebody already ported MAGMA or something like that?

I actually need only a handful of functions like gemv, gemm, ger and couple of others.

Thanks.

    Hi. There is a BLAS library for Altera. It is in Beta. If you can tell me a bit more about your application I can suggest if it will work for you. We are looking for 2 - 3 early adopters with whom to work to further optimize the library.

    Dear Brian,

    As a member and contributor of the BLIS project (https://code.google.com/p/blis/) we would be very

    interested in evaluating a BLAS solution on Altera FPGAs. Would you please be so kind to contact

    me so I can deeply explain our goals and plans for BLAS development on a variety of platforms?

    Thanks,
