********************************************************************

rocBLAS is the AMD library for Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms (BLAS) on the :doc:`ROCm platform <rocm:index>`.
It is implemented in the :doc:`HIP programming language <hip:index>` and optimized for AMD GPUs.
It is implemented in the :doc:`HIP C++ <hip:index>` and optimized for AMD GPUs.
For more detailed component information, see :doc:`rocBLAS design notes <../conceptual/rocblas-design-notes>`.

rocBLAS aims to provide the following:

* Functionality similar to legacy BLAS, adapted to run on AMD GPUs
* A high-performance, robust implementation

rocBLAS is written in C++17 and HIP and uses the AMD ROCm runtime.
rocBLAS is written in HIP C++ (using C++17 features) and it uses the HIP runtime.

The rocBLAS API is a thin C99 API that uses the hourglass pattern. It contains:
