PZLAUUM(3) ScaLAPACK routine of NEC Numeric Library Collection PZLAUUM(3) NAME PZLAUUM - compute the product U * U' or L' * L, where the triangular factor U or L is stored in the upper or lower triangular part of the distributed matrix sub( A ) = A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1) SYNOPSIS SUBROUTINE PZLAUUM( UPLO, N, A, IA, JA, DESCA ) CHARACTER UPLO INTEGER IA, JA, N INTEGER DESCA( * ) COMPLEX*16 A( * ) PURPOSE PZLAUUM computes the product U * U' or L' * L, where the triangular factor U or L is stored in the upper or lower triangular part of the distributed matrix sub( A ) = A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1). If UPLO = 'U' or 'u' then the upper triangle of the result is stored, overwriting the factor U in sub( A ). If UPLO = 'L' or 'l' then the lower triangle of the result is stored, overwriting the factor L in sub( A ). This is the blocked form of the algorithm, calling Level 3 PBLAS. 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*1 Specifies whether the triangular factor stored in the dis- tributed matrix sub( A ) is upper or lower triangular: = '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 triangular factor U or L. N >= 0. A (local input/local output) COMPLEX*16 pointer into the local memory to an array of dimension (LLD_A, LOCc(JA+N-1)). On entry, the local pieces of the triangular factor L or U. On exit, if UPLO = 'U', the upper triangle of the distributed matrix sub( A ) is overwritten with the upper triangle of the product U * U'; if UPLO = 'L', the lower triangle of sub( A ) is overwritten with the lower triangle of the product L' * L. IA (global input) INTEGER The row index in the global array A indicating the first row of sub( A ). JA (global input) INTEGER The column index in the global array A indicating the first column of sub( A ). DESCA (global and local input) INTEGER array of dimension DLEN_. The array descriptor for the distributed matrix A. ScaLAPACK routine 31 October 2017 PZLAUUM(3)
