matrix multiplication

[Matthew J. Doller]

someone correct me if i am wrong, but is there really no way of
multiplying two matrices, or a matrix and a vector with gsl
i know i can go element by element, but i'm looking for something of the
form:

return_matrix = gsl_matrix_mul_matrix_by_matrix ( matrix_one ,
matrix_two );

thanks!
matt

try to use level 3 of blas.
gsl supports blas interfaces. A simple example is attatched. gsl_gemm.c
LDFLAGS=-lgsl -lgslcblas -lm

[Daniel T Konkle]

I need to implement  S = A' * A  where A' is the transpose of A.

Is it possible to do it like this:

gsl_blas_dgemm( CblasTrans, CblasNoTrans, 1.0, A, A, 0.0, S );

or do I need to copy the contents of a into a temporary matrix first

gsl_matrix_memcpy( B, A );
gsl_blas_dgemm( CblasTrans, CblasNoTrans, 1.0, A, B, 0.0, S );

Thanks,
Danny

If you look at the function definition in the gsl_blas.h header file
or the manual the 'const' keyword shows which arguments are not
modified.
