To exploit both memory locality and the full performance potential of highly tuned kernels, dense linear algebra libraries such as LAPACK commonly implement operations as blocked algorithms. However, to achieve next-to-optimal performance with such algorithms, significant tuning is required. On the other hand, recursive algorithms are virtually tuning free, and yet attain similar performance. In this paper, we first analyze and compare blocked and recursive algorithms in terms of performance, and then introduce ReLAPACK, an open-source library of recursive algorithms to seamlessly replace most of LAPACK's blocked algorithms. In many scenarios, ReLAPACK clearly outperforms reference LAPACK, and even improves upon the performance of optimizes libraries.
