Dear Kayhan,
the two (uBLAS and numeric bindings) are separate projects with
different goals. Having said that, the bindings are designed to work
with different algorithmic backends (ATLAS, MKL, ACML, netlib-compatible
BLAS, etc.). An uBLAS-native blas-backend just isn't
implemented/supported yet.
Cheers,
