NAME
PSLAPV2 - applie either P (permutation matrix indicated by IPIV) or inv( P ) to a M-by-N distributed
matrix sub( A ) denoting A(IA:IA+M-1,JA:JA+N-1), resulting in row or column pivoting
SYNOPSIS
SUBROUTINE PSLAPV2( DIREC, ROWCOL, M, N, A, IA, JA, DESCA, IPIV, IP, JP, DESCIP )
CHARACTER DIREC, ROWCOL
INTEGER IA, IP, JA, JP, M, N
INTEGER DESCA( * ), DESCIP( * ), IPIV( * )
REAL A( * )
PURPOSE
PSLAPV2 applies either P (permutation matrix indicated by IPIV) or inv( P ) to a M-by-N distributed
matrix sub( A ) denoting A(IA:IA+M-1,JA:JA+N-1), resulting in row or column pivoting. The pivot vector
should be aligned with the distributed matrix A. For pivoting the rows of sub( A ), IPIV should be
distributed along a process column and replicated over all process rows. Similarly, IPIV should be
distributed along a process row and replicated over all process columns for column pivoting.
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
DIREC (global input) CHARACTER
Specifies in which order the permutation is applied: = 'F' (Forward) Applies pivots Forward from
top of matrix. Computes P * sub( A ); = 'B' (Backward) Applies pivots Backward from bottom of
matrix. Computes inv( P ) * sub( A ).
ROWCOL (global input) CHARACTER
Specifies if the rows or columns are to be permuted: = 'R' Rows will be permuted, = 'C' Columns
will be permuted.
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) REAL pointer into the
local memory to an array of dimension (LLD_A, LOCc(JA+N-1)). On entry, this local array contains
the local pieces of the distributed matrix sub( A ) to which the row or columns interchanges will
be applied. On exit, this array contains the local pieces of the permuted distributed matrix.
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.
IPIV (input) INTEGER array, dimension >= LOCr(M_A)+MB_A if
ROWCOL = 'R', LOCc(N_A)+NB_A otherwise. It contains the pivoting information. IPIV(i) is the
global row (column), local row (column) i was swapped with. The last piece of the array of size
MB_A (resp. NB_A) is used as workspace. IPIV is tied to the distributed matrix A.
IP (global input) INTEGER
IPIV's global row index, which points to the beginning of the submatrix which is to be operated
on.
JP (global input) INTEGER
IPIV's global column index, which points to the beginning of the submatrix which is to be
operated on.
DESCIP (global and local input) INTEGER array of dimension 8
The array descriptor for the distributed matrix IPIV.
