Sorry. I did a google search and pulled up e.g.

It was Emil Briggs from NCSU who wrote BLAS 1 routines hand optimized in
assembler for the Athlon. There is a web-drop for his efforts in this
article:
http://nemo.physics.ncsu.edu/~briggs/blas_src_v0.11_tar.gz
which still seems to exist. I don't know if there are more recent
versions or if this ever went anywhere further, but Emil would likely
know at:
Emil Briggs <briggs at tick.physics.ncsu.edu>
as of 1999.
