## 8Parallelism and Performance

f06zwf (zsyr2k) is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
f06zwf (zsyr2k) makes calls to BLAS and/or LAPACK routines, which may be threaded within the vendor library used by this implementation. Consult the documentation for the vendor library for further information.
Please consult the X06 Chapter Introduction for information on how to control and interrogate the OpenMP environment used within this routine. Please also consult the Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.
