Software: FlexiBLAS 3.5.0 released - LAPACKE and Windows support

November 03, 2025
FlexiBLAS, the exchange and abstraction layer for BLAS and LAPACK with runtime backend selection, has reached version 3.5.0. This release delivers two headline features: native support for LAPACKE, the C interface to LAPACK, and support for Windows. With LAPACKE support, C/C++ applications using the LAPACKE API can route calls through FlexiBLAS to different BLAS/LAPACK backends—such as OpenBLAS, BLIS, or oneMKL—without recompilation or code changes. The new Windows support enables consistent use and runtime switching of backends on Windows systems, simplifying cross-platform development, testing, and reproducible workflows. Beyond these highlights, version 3.5.0 includes minor improvements and bug fixes.
