A Proposed API for Batched Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms

This paper proposes an API for Batched Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms (Batched BLAS). We focus on many independent BLAS operations on small matrices that are grouped together as a single routine, called Batched BLAS routine, with the aim of providing more efficient, but portable, implementations of algorithms on high-performance manycore architectures (like multi/manycore CPU processors, GPUs, and coprocessors).
