BLAS and LAPACK bindings for operations over math/matrix

[Pratyush Das]

So, this is what I found when I was looking for a Racket library with BLAS and LAPACK bindings - 

https://github.com/soegaard/flmatrix

https://github.com/farr/PLT-Racket-Linear-Algebra-Bindings

But they implement their own matrices and use the bindings for operations over them. Are there any implementations that use BLAS and LAPACK bindings for operations over matrices created using the math/matrix racket extension?

Not that I know of.

The way matrices are stored in `math/matrix` is not suitable for passing to BLAS directly.
The library `math/matrix` uses functional arrays to store the elements.
The library BLAS on the other hand expects piece of memory in which the elements are laid out in a particular way.
So if you have a math/matrix matrix and want to use a BLAS operation, you will need write conversion functions.
