OK, then I am with you - but for the full complement of matrix operations to be available, you have to move into our millenium Smile | :) .

You had all the matrix you could think of in the open source ACM libraries, in Fortran IV syntax, from the 1970s, so you didn't have to write the functions yourself (if you were, or knew someone who was, a member of the ACM) - but the syntax is of course a lot sweeter when matrix operations are first class language elements.

Regarding parallell operations: With the Cray supercomputer, you had library functions for directly utilizing on the Cray vector registers. However, the Cray Fortran compiler was well known for vectorizing even scalar operations: If your program made, say, ten independent scalar multiplications with no ordering requirements, the compiler might collect them and set it up as one single vector multiply. In principle, this is not much more than reordering independent operations for better use of registers in a single-stream CPU, but Cray took it to extremes.
