order
- Whether matrices are row major order (C-Style) for column major order (Fortran-style). One of enum CblasRowMajor or CblasColMajor.
TransA
- Whether to transpose matrix A. One of enum CblasNoTrans, CBlasTrans.
M
- represents:
- the number of rows in input matrix a
- The number of rows must be greater than or equal to zero, and less than the leading dimension of the matrix a (specified in lda)
N
- represents:
- the number of columns in input matrix a
- The number of columns must be greater than or equal to zero.
alpha
- is the scaling constant for matrix a
A
- is the input matrix of float (for sgemv) or double (for dgemv) values
lda
- is the leading dimension of the array specified by a. The leading dimension must be greater than zero. The leading dimension must be greater than or equal to 1 and greater than or equal to the value specified in m.
x
- is the input vector of float (for sgemv) or double (for dgemv) values.
incx
