|dgemm (data general emmulator?)

General Matrix Multiply.  The foundation for modern numerical
algorithms (1990+).  There are several thousand pages of mathematical
literature on the subject, but the source code lives at

http://netlib2.cs.utk.edu/liblist.html

Check out the blas section.

|BLACS? BLAS? LAPACK?

Basic Linear Algebra Communication Subroutines
Basic Linear Algebra Subroutines
Linear Algebra PACK (this is the place to find the state-of-the-art)

All available from netlib.  These are blocked routines that just love
to be matched up with caches and vector registers.

|pvm3? mpich? nxlib? 

PVM3== parallel virtural machine, available at netlib
MPICH== Message Passing Interface standard (CHameleon)
available from ftp://info.mcs.anl.gov/pub/mpi

NXLib is a neat library that emulates Intel Paragon NX message
passing library calls.  It's available from 
ftpbode.informatik.tu-muenchen.de
