NAME
       PCHENTRD  -  reduce  a  complex  Hermitian matrix sub( A ) to symmetric
       tridiagonal form T by an orthogonal similarity transformation

SYNOPSIS
       SUBROUTINE PCHENTRD(
                           UPLO, N, A, IA, JA, DESCA, D, E, TAU, WORK,  LWORK,
                           RWORK, LRWORK, INFO )

           CHARACTER       UPLO

           INTEGER         IA, INFO, JA, LWORK, N

           INTEGER         DESCA( * )

           REAL            A( * ), D( * ), E( * ), RWORK( * )

           COMPLEX*8       A( * ), TAU( * ), WORK( * )

PURPOSE
       PCHENTRD  is  a  prototype version of PCHETRD which uses tailored codes
       (either the serial, CHETRD, or the parallel code,  PCHETTRD)  when  the
       workspace provided by the user is adequate.

       PCHENTRD  reduces  a  complex  Hermitian  matrix  sub( A ) to symmetric
       tridiagonal form T by an orthogonal similarity transformation:
       Q' * sub( A ) * Q = T, where sub( A ) = A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1).

       Features
       ========
       PCHENTRD is faster than PCHETRD on almost  all  matrices,  particularly
       small ones (i.e. N < 500 * sqrt(P) ), provided that enough workspace is
       available to use the tailored codes.

       The tailored codes provide performance that is essentially  independent
       of the input data layout.

       The  tailored  codes  place  no  restrictions  on IA, JA, MB or NB.  At
       present, IA, JA, MB and NB are restricted to those  values  allowed  by
       PCHETRD  to  keep  the  interface simple.  These restrictions are docu-
       mented below.  (Search for "restrictions".)

       Notes
       =====

       Each global data object is described by an associated description  vec-
       tor.  This vector stores the information required to establish the map-
       ping between an object element and its corresponding process and memory
       location.

       Let  A  be  a generic term for any 2D block cyclicly distributed array.
       Such a global array has an associated description vector DESCA.  In the
       following  comments,  the  character _ should be read as "of the global
       array".

       NOTATION        STORED IN      EXPLANATION
       --------------- -------------- --------------------------------------
       DTYPE_A(global) DESCA( DTYPE_ )The descriptor type.  In this case,
                                      DTYPE_A = 1.
       CTXT_A (global) DESCA( CTXT_ ) The BLACS context handle, indicating
                                      the BLACS process grid A is distribu-
                                      ted over. The context itself is glo-
                                      bal, but the handle (the integer
                                      value) may vary.
       M_A    (global) DESCA( M_ )    The number of rows in the global
                                      array A.
       N_A    (global) DESCA( N_ )    The number of columns in the global
                                      array A.
       MB_A   (global) DESCA( MB_ )   The blocking factor used to distribute
                                      the rows of the array.
       NB_A   (global) DESCA( NB_ )   The blocking factor used to distribute
                                      the columns of the array.
       RSRC_A (global) DESCA( RSRC_ ) The process row over which the first
                                      row  of  the  array  A  is  distributed.
       CSRC_A (global) DESCA( CSRC_ ) The process column over which the
                                      first column of the array A is
                                      distributed.
       LLD_A  (local)  DESCA( LLD_ )  The leading dimension of the local
                                      array.  LLD_A >= MAX(1,LOCr(M_A)).

       Let  K  be  the  number of rows or columns of a distributed matrix, and
       assume that its process grid has dimension p x q.
       LOCr( K ) denotes the number of elements of  K  that  a  process  would
       receive  if K were distributed over the p processes of its process col-
       umn.
       Similarly, LOCc( K ) denotes the number of elements of K that a process
       would receive if K were distributed over the q processes of its process
       row.
       The values of LOCr() and LOCc() may be determined via  a  call  to  the
       ScaLAPACK tool function, NUMROC:
               LOCr( M ) = NUMROC( M, MB_A, MYROW, RSRC_A, NPROW ),
               LOCc(  N ) = NUMROC( N, NB_A, MYCOL, CSRC_A, NPCOL ).  An upper
       bound for these quantities may be computed by:
               LOCr( M ) <= ceil( ceil(M/MB_A)/NPROW )*MB_A
               LOCc( N ) <= ceil( ceil(N/NB_A)/NPCOL )*NB_A


ARGUMENTS
       UPLO    (global input) CHARACTER
               Specifies whether the upper or lower  triangular  part  of  the
               symmetric matrix sub( A ) is stored:
               = 'U':  Upper triangular
               = 'L':  Lower triangular

       N       (global input) INTEGER
               The  number  of  rows  and  columns to be operated on, i.e. the
               order of the distributed submatrix sub( A ). N >= 0.

       A       (local input/local output) COMPLEX*8 pointer into the
               local memory to an array of dimension (LLD_A,LOCc(JA+N-1)).  On
               entry,  this  array  contains the local pieces of the symmetric
               distributed matrix sub( A ).  If UPLO = 'U', the leading N-by-N
               upper triangular part of sub( A ) contains the upper triangular
               part of the matrix, and its strictly lower triangular  part  is
               not  referenced. If UPLO = 'L', the leading N-by-N lower trian-
               gular part of sub( A ) contains the lower  triangular  part  of
               the  matrix, and its strictly upper triangular part is not ref-
               erenced. On exit, if UPLO = 'U', the diagonal and first  super-
               diagonal  of  sub(  A  ) are over- written by the corresponding
               elements of the tridiagonal matrix T, and  the  elements  above
               the  first  superdiagonal,  with  the  array TAU, represent the
               orthogonal matrix Q as a product of elementary  reflectors;  if
               UPLO  = 'L', the diagonal and first subdiagonal of sub( A ) are
               overwritten by the corresponding elements  of  the  tridiagonal
               matrix  T,  and  the elements below the first subdiagonal, with
               the array TAU, represent the orthogonal matrix Q as  a  product
               of elementary reflectors. See Further Details.

               The  diagonal  elements  of  the  tridiagonal  matrix T: D(i) =
               A(i,i). D is tied to the distributed matrix A.

               if UPLO = 'U', LOCc(JA+N-2) otherwise.  The  off-diagonal  ele-
               ments  of  the  tridiagonal matrix T: E(i) = A(i,i+1) if UPLO =
               'U', E(i) = A(i+1,i) if UPLO = 'L'.  E  is  tied  to  the  dis-
               tributed matrix A.

       TAU     (local output) COMPLEX*8 array, dimension
               LOCc(JA+N-1). This array contains the scalar factors TAU of the
               elementary reflectors. TAU is tied to the distributed matrix A.

       WORK     (local  workspace/local  output)  COMPLEX*8  array,  dimension
       (LWORK)
               On exit, WORK( 1 ) returns the minimal and optimal LWORK.

       LWORK   (local or global input) INTEGER

               be at least LWORK >= MAX( NB * ( NP +1 ), 3 * NB )

               For optimal performance, greater workspace is needed, i.e.
                 LWORK >= 2*( ANB+1 )*( 4*NPS+2 ) + ( NPS + 4 ) * NPS
                 ICTXT = DESCA( CTXT_ )
                 ANB = PJLAENV( ICTXT, 3, 'PCHETTRD', 'L', 0, 0, 0, 0 )
                 SQNPC = INT( SQRT( DBLE( NPROW * NPCOL ) ) )
                 NPS = MAX( NUMROC( N, 1, 0, 0, SQNPC ), 2*ANB )

                 NUMROC is a ScaLAPACK tool functions;
                 PJLAENV is a ScaLAPACK envionmental inquiry function

               The dimension of the array RWORK.  LRWORK is  local  input  and
               must be at least LRWORK >= 1
                 For optimal performance, greater workspace is needed, i.e.
                 LRWORK >= MAX( 2 * N )

       INFO    (global output) INTEGER
               = 0:  successful exit
               <  0:   If the i-th argument is an array and the j-entry had an
               illegal value, then INFO = -(i*100+j), if the i-th argument  is
               a scalar and had an illegal value, then INFO = -i.

FURTHER DETAILS
       If  UPLO  = 'U', the matrix Q is represented as a product of elementary
       reflectors

          Q = H(n-1) . . . H(2) H(1).

       Each H(i) has the form

          H(i) = I - tau * v * v'

       where tau is a real scalar, and v is a real vector with
       v(i+1:n) = 0 and v(i) = 1; v(1:i-1) is stored on exit in
       A(ia:ia+i-2,ja+i), and tau in TAU(ja+i-1).

       If UPLO = 'L', the matrix Q is represented as a product  of  elementary
       reflectors

          Q = H(1) H(2) . . . H(n-1).

       Each H(i) has the form

          H(i) = I - tau * v * v'

       where tau is a real scalar, and v is a real vector with
       v(1:i) = 0 and v(i+1) = 1; v(i+2:n) is stored on exit in
       A(ia+i+1:ia+n-1,ja+i-1), and tau in TAU(ja+i-1).

       The contents of sub( A ) on exit are illustrated by the following exam-
       ples with n = 5:

       if UPLO = 'U':                       if UPLO = 'L':

         (  d   e   v2  v3  v4 )              (  d                  )
         (      d   e   v3  v4 )              (  e   d              )
         (          d   e   v4 )              (  v1  e   d          )
         (              d   e  )              (  v1  v2  e   d      )
         (                  d  )              (  v1  v2  v3  e   d  )

       where d and e denote diagonal and off-diagonal elements of  T,  and  vi
       denotes an element of the vector defining H(i).


ALIGNMENT REQUIREMENTS
       The  distributed  submatrix sub( A ) must verify some alignment proper-
       ties, namely the following expression should be true:
       ( MB_A.EQ.NB_A .AND. IROFFA.EQ.ICOFFA .AND. IROFFA.EQ.0 ) with IROFFA =
       MOD( IA-1, MB_A ) and ICOFFA = MOD( JA-1, NB_A ).
