[Chicken-users] BLAS

[TiM]

greetings,

i need to multiply many exponentially large complex valued matrices as 
part of a solution that so far has been pure scheme.

i was going to write my own matrix multiplier code and compile it with 
chicken, but chicken doesn't support complex numbers, and i probably 
can't write a top performing matrix multiplier in the time i have anyhow.

BLAS (http://www.netlib.org/blas/) appears to be the appropriate tool, 
but i have no experience with it, and no experience in calling external 
libraries from scheme.

has someone already written a chicken interface to BLAS that i could use?

IMHO, built in BLAS support (like LUSH has) would be a pretty cool 
addition to chicken.

thanks for any help,

TiM
