Very good. This means that the problem is completely unrelated to nrm2, and that the input data to nrm2 is already "wrong". Explanation: "norm_2" is the function provided by uBlas itself, and it definitively has no accuracy problems.

So you should compare the input data to "nrm2" in the Matlab and in the uBlas case. (In the worst case you can save them line by line to two different files and compare these files with a diff-viewer.) When you have established that they are indeed different, you can start investigating why they are different.
