PURPOSE
       PDLATRD  reduces  NB  rows  and columns of a real symmetric distributed
       matrix sub( A ) = A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1) to symmetric tridiagonal  form
       by  an  orthogonal  similarity  transformation  Q'  * sub( A ) * Q, and
       returns the matrices V and W which are needed to apply the  transforma-
       tion to the unreduced part of sub( A ).

       If  UPLO  =  'U',  PDLATRD  reduces  the  last NB rows and columns of a
       matrix, of which the upper triangle is supplied;
       if UPLO = 'L', PDLATRD reduces the first  NB  rows  and  columns  of  a
       matrix, of which the lower triangle is supplied.

       This is an auxiliary routine called by PDSYTRD.


       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.

       NB      (global input) INTEGER
               The number of rows and columns to be reduced.

       A       (local input/local output) DOUBLE PRECISION 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 last NB columns have been
               reduced to tridiagonal form, with the diagonal  elements  over-
               writing  the  diagonal elements of sub( A ); the elements above
               the diagonal with  the  array  TAU,  represent  the  orthogonal
               matrix  Q as a product of elementary reflectors. If UPLO = 'L',
               the first NB columns have been  reduced  to  tridiagonal  form,
               with the diagonal elements overwriting the diagonal elements of
               sub( A ); the elements below the diagonal with the  array  TAU,
               represent  the  orthogonal  matrix Q as a product of elementary
               reflectors; See Further Details.  IA      (global input)  INTE-

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

       E       (local output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension LOCc(JA+N-1)
               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) DOUBLE PRECISION 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.

               to  an array of dimension (LLD_W,NB_W), This array contains the
               local pieces of the N-by-NB_W matrix W required to  update  the
               unreduced part of sub( A ).

       IW      (global input) INTEGER
               The row index in the global array W indicating the first row of

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

          Q = H(n) H(n-1) . . . H(n-nb+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:n) = 0 and v(i-1) = 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(nb).

       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  elements of the vectors v together form the N-by-NB matrix V which
       is needed, with W, to apply the transformation to the unreduced part of
       the  matrix,  using a symmetric rank-2k update of the form: sub( A ) :=
       sub( A ) - V*W' - W*V'.

       The contents of A on exit are illustrated  by  the  following  examples
       with n = 5 and nb = 2:

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

         (  a   a   a   v4  v5 )              (  d                  )
         (      a   a   v4  v5 )              (  1   d              )
         (          a   1   v5 )              (  v1  1   a          )
         (              d   1  )              (  v1  v2  a   a      )
         (                  d  )              (  v1  v2  a   a   a  )

       where  d denotes a diagonal element of the reduced matrix, a denotes an
       element of the original matrix that is unchanged,  and  vi  denotes  an
       element of the vector defining H(i).
