Look at Brook (http://graphics.stanford.edu/projects/brookgpu/) ... and GPGPU in general (http://www.gpgpu.org/cgi-bin/blosxom.cgi). If you want to use the built-in SIMD instructions in the X8x architecture, there are versions of BLAS that support them: both AMD and Intel have native versions for download, and there is ATLAS (http://math-atlas.sourceforge.net/), FFTW (http://www.fftw.org/), and many similar packages of functions -- there is also libSIMDx86 (http://sourceforge.net/projects/simdx86/) for general purpose vector and matrix processing.
