NAME
PDLASCL - multiplie the M-by-N real distributed matrix sub( A ) denoting A(IA:IA+M-1,JA:JA+N-1) by the
real scalar CTO/CFROM
SYNOPSIS
SUBROUTINE PDLASCL( TYPE, CFROM, CTO, M, N, A, IA, JA, DESCA, INFO )
CHARACTER TYPE
INTEGER IA, INFO, JA, M, N
DOUBLE PRECISION CFROM, CTO
INTEGER DESCA( * )
DOUBLE PRECISION A( * )
PURPOSE
PDLASCL multiplies the M-by-N real distributed matrix sub( A ) denoting A(IA:IA+M-1,JA:JA+N-1) by the
real scalar CTO/CFROM. This is done without over/underflow as long as the final result CTO * A(I,J) /
CFROM does not over/underflow. TYPE specifies that sub( A ) may be full, upper triangular, lower
triangular or upper Hessenberg.
Notes
=====
Each global data object is described by an associated description vector. This vector stores the
information required to establish the mapping 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 column.
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
TYPE (global input) CHARACTER
TYPE indices the storage type of the input distributed matrix. = 'G': sub( A ) is a full
matrix,
= 'L': sub( A ) is a lower triangular matrix,
= 'U': sub( A ) is an upper triangular matrix,
= 'H': sub( A ) is an upper Hessenberg matrix.
CFROM (global input) DOUBLE PRECISION
CTO (global input) DOUBLE PRECISION The distributed matrix sub( A ) is multiplied by
CTO/CFROM. A(I,J) is computed without over/underflow if the final result CTO * A(I,J) / CFROM
can be represented without over/underflow. CFROM must be nonzero.
M (global input) INTEGER
The number of rows to be operated on i.e the number of rows of the distributed submatrix sub( A
). M >= 0.
N (global input) INTEGER
The number of columns to be operated on i.e the number of columns of the distributed submatrix
sub( A ). N >= 0.
A (local input/local output) DOUBLE PRECISION pointer into the
local memory to an array of dimension (LLD_A,LOCc(JA+N-1)). This array contains the local pieces
of the distributed matrix sub( A ). On exit, this array contains the local pieces of the
distributed matrix multiplied by CTO/CFROM.
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.
INFO (local 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.
