ATLAS

The ATLAS (Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra Software) project provides C and Fortran77 interfaces to a portable efficient BLAS implementation, as well as a few routines from LAPACK. http://math-atlas.sourceforge.net/

Harwell-Boeing

The Harwell-Boeing matrix format is a popular storage and description format for sparse matrix data, http://math.nist.gov/MatrixMarket/formats.html. Many examples of matrices in this format can be found at http://math.nist.gov/MatrixMarket/index.html.

Matrix Market

The Matrix Market matrix format provides a simple mechanism to facilitate the exchange of sparse and dense matrix data, http://math.nist.gov/MatrixMarket/formats.html. Many examples of matrices in this format can be found at http://math.nist.gov/MatrixMarket/index.html.
