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
SIDE (global input) CHARACTER

STOREV (global input) CHARACTER
Indicates how the vectors which define the elementary reflectors are stored:

M (global input) INTEGER
The number of rows to be operated on i.e the number of rows of the distributed submatrix sub( C

STOREV = 'R' and SIDE = 'L', ( LLD_V, LOCc(JV+N-1) ) if STOREV = 'R' and SIDE = 'R'. It contains
the local pieces of the distributed vectors V representing the Householder transformation. See
further details. If STOREV = 'C' and SIDE = 'L', LLD_V >= MAX(1,LOCr(IV+M-1)); if STOREV = 'C'
and SIDE = 'R', LLD_V >= MAX(1,LOCr(IV+N-1)); if STOREV = 'R', LLD_V >= LOCr(IV+K-1).

ILCM, INDXG2P and NUMROC are ScaLAPACK tool functions; MYROW, MYCOL, NPROW and NPCOL can be
determined by calling the subroutine BLACS_GRIDINFO.
Alignment requirements ======================
The distributed submatrices V(IV:*, JV:*) and C(IC:IC+M-1,JC:JC+N-1) must verify some alignment
properties, namely the following expressions should be true:
If STOREV = 'Columnwise' If SIDE = 'Left', ( MB_V.EQ.MB_C .AND. IROFFV.EQ.IROFFC .AND.
IVROW.EQ.ICROW ) If SIDE = 'Right', ( MB_V.EQ.NB_C .AND. IROFFV.EQ.ICOFFC ) else if STOREV =
'Rowwise' If SIDE = 'Left', ( NB_V.EQ.MB_C .AND. ICOFFV.EQ.IROFFC ) If SIDE = 'Right', (
NB_V.EQ.NB_C .AND. ICOFFV.EQ.ICOFFC .AND. IVCOL.EQ.ICCOL ) end if
