Every BLAS you want to use has at least some connection to UT Austin’s TACC.

[victotronics → bee_rider]

Not quite. Every modern BLAS is (likely) based on Kazushige Goto's implementation, and he was indeed at TACC for a while. But probably the best open source implementation "BLIS" is from UT Austin, but not connected to TACC.

Oh really? I thought BLIS was from TACC. Oops, mea culpa.

Field et al, recent winners of the James H. Wilkinson Prize for Numerical Software.

Field and Goto both collaborated with Robert van de Geijn. Lots of TACC interaction in that broader team.

aren't the lapack people in tennessee?

[bee_rider → mgaunard]

Sort of like BLAS, LAPACK is more than just one implementation. Dongarra described what everybody should do from Tennesse, but other places implemented it elsewhere.

[mgaunard → bee_rider]

plasma and magma are also from there.

I'm not aware of any other significant lapack-related developments, but I might just not know about them.
