What is libblis3

libblis3 is:

BLIS is a portable software framework for instantiating high-performance BLAS-like dense linear algebra libraries.

BLIS is written in ISO C99 and available under a new/modified/3-clause BSD license. While BLIS exports a new BLAS-like API, it also includes a BLAS compatibility layer which gives application developers access to BLIS implementations via traditional BLAS routine calls. An object-based API is also available for more experienced users.
