It is designed to leverage the full performance potential of a wide variety of OpenCL devices from different vendors, including desktop and laptop GPUs, embedded GPUs, and other accelerators. CLBlast implements BLAS routines: basic linear algebra subprograms operating on vectors and matrices. See [the CLBlast website](https://cnugteren.github.io/clblast) for performance reports on some devices.\n\nThe library is not tuned for all possible OpenCL devices: __if out-of-the-box performance is poor, please run the tuners first__. See [the docs for a list of already tuned devices](doc/tuning.md#already-tuned-for-devices) and [instructions on how to tune yourself](doc/tuning.md) and contribute to future releases of the CLBlast library.\n\n\nWhy CLBlast and not clBLAS or cuBLAS?\n-------------\n\nUse CLBlast instead of clBLAS:\n\n* When you care about achieving maximum performance.\n* When you want to be able to inspect the BLAS kernels or easily customize them to your needs.\n* When you run on exotic OpenCL devices for which you need to tune yourself.\n* When you are still running on OpenCL 1.1 hardware.\n* When you prefer a C++ API over a C API (C API also available in CLBlast).\n* When you value an organized and modern C++ codebase.\n* When you target Intel CPUs and GPUs or embedded devices.\n* When you can benefit from the increased performance of half-precision fp16 data-types.\n\nUse CLBlast instead of cuBLAS:\n\n* When you w",
