  Description     : collection of mission-critical software components for linear algebra system translated from Fortran to Java

Netlib is a collection of mission-critical software components for linear algebra systems (i.e. working with vectors or matrices).
Netlib libraries are written in C, Fortran or optimised assembly code. This Java translation has been provided by the F2J project
 but it does not take advantage of optimised system libraries.

This library provides a wrapper layer that gives Java programmers access to a common API which can be configured to use either
 the pure Java or natively optimised implementations of BLAS, LAPACK and ARPACK such as:
Intel's Math Kernel Library
AMD's Core Math Libary
Apple's vecLib Framework
the popular open source ATLAS.
