SLAQPS(3)      LAPACK routine of NEC Numeric Library Collection      SLAQPS(3)



NAME
       SLAQPS

SYNOPSIS
       SUBROUTINE SLAQPS (M, N, OFFSET, NB, KB, A, LDA, JPVT, TAU, VN1, VN2,
           AUXV, F, LDF)



PURPOSE
            SLAQPS computes a step of QR factorization with column pivoting
            of a real M-by-N matrix A by using Blas-3.  It tries to factorize
            NB columns from A starting from the row OFFSET+1, and updates all
            of the matrix with Blas-3 xGEMM.

            In some cases, due to catastrophic cancellations, it cannot
            factorize NB columns.  Hence, the actual number of factorized
            columns is returned in KB.

            Block A(1:OFFSET,1:N) is accordingly pivoted, but not factorized.
