PURPOSE
PZLATRD reduces NB rows and columns of a complex Hermitian distributed matrix sub( A ) =
A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1) to complex tridiagonal form by an unitary similarity transformation Q' * sub( A )
* Q, and returns the matrices V and W which are needed to apply the transformation to the unreduced part
of sub( A ).
If UPLO = 'U', PZLATRD reduces the last NB rows and columns of a matrix, of which the upper triangle is
supplied;
if UPLO = 'L', PZLATRD reduces the first NB rows and columns of a matrix, of which the lower triangle is
supplied.
This is an auxiliary routine called by PZHETRD.
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
UPLO (global input) CHARACTER
Specifies whether the upper or lower triangular part of the Hermitian matrix sub( A ) is stored:
= '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 distributed submatrix
sub( A ). N >= 0.
NB (global input) INTEGER
The number of rows and columns to be reduced.
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, this array contains the
local pieces of the Hermitian distributed matrix sub( A ). If UPLO = 'U', the leading N-by-N
upper triangular part of sub( A ) contains the upper triangular part of the matrix, and its
strictly lower triangular part is not referenced. If UPLO = 'L', the leading N-by-N lower
triangular part of sub( A ) contains the lower triangular part of the matrix, and its strictly
upper triangular part is not referenced. On exit, if UPLO = 'U', the last NB columns have been
reduced to tridiagonal form, with the diagonal elements overwriting the diagonal elements of sub(
A ); the elements above the diagonal with the array TAU, represent the unitary matrix Q as a
product of elementary reflectors. If UPLO = 'L', the first NB columns have been reduced to
tridiagonal form, with the diagonal elements overwriting the diagonal elements of sub( A ); the
elements below the diagonal with the array TAU, represent the unitary matrix Q as a product of
elementary reflectors; See Further Details. 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.
D (local output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension LOCc(JA+N-1)
The diagonal elements of the tridiagonal matrix T: D(i) = A(i,i). D is tied to the distributed
matrix A.
E (local output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension LOCc(JA+N-1)
if UPLO = 'U', LOCc(JA+N-2) otherwise. The off-diagonal elements of the tridiagonal matrix T:
E(i) = A(i,i+1) if UPLO = 'U', E(i) = A(i+1,i) if UPLO = 'L'. E is tied to the distributed matrix
A.
TAU (local output) COMPLEX*16, array, dimension
LOCc(JA+N-1). This array contains the scalar factors TAU of the elementary reflectors. TAU is
tied to the distributed matrix A.
W (local output) COMPLEX*16 pointer into the local memory
to an array of dimension (LLD_W,NB_W), This array contains the local pieces of the N-by-NB_W
matrix W required to update the unreduced part of sub( A ).
IW (global input) INTEGER
The row index in the global array W indicating the first row of sub( W ).
JW (global input) INTEGER
The column index in the global array W indicating the first column of sub( W ).
DESCW (global and local input) INTEGER array of dimension DLEN_.
The array descriptor for the distributed matrix W.
WORK (local workspace) COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (NB_A)
FURTHER DETAILS
If UPLO = 'U', the matrix Q is represented as a product of elementary reflectors
Q = H(n) H(n-1) . . . H(n-nb+1).
Each H(i) has the form
H(i) = I - tau * v * v'
where tau is a complex scalar, and v is a complex vector with v(i:n) = 0 and v(i-1) = 1; v(1:i-1) is
stored on exit in
A(ia:ia+i-2,ja+i), and tau in TAU(ja+i-1).
If UPLO = 'L', the matrix Q is represented as a product of elementary reflectors
Q = H(1) H(2) . . . H(nb).
Each H(i) has the form
H(i) = I - tau * v * v'
where tau is a complex scalar, and v is a complex vector with v(1:i) = 0 and v(i+1) = 1; v(i+2:n) is
stored on exit in
A(ia+i+1:ia+n-1,ja+i-1), and tau in TAU(ja+i-1).
The elements of the vectors v together form the N-by-NB matrix V which is needed, with W, to apply the
transformation to the unreduced part of the matrix, using a Hermitian rank-2k update of the form: sub( A
) := sub( A ) - V*W' - W*V'.
The contents of A on exit are illustrated by the following examples with n = 5 and nb = 2:
if UPLO = 'U': if UPLO = 'L':
( a a a v4 v5 ) ( d )
( a a v4 v5 ) ( 1 d )
( a 1 v5 ) ( v1 1 a )
( d 1 ) ( v1 v2 a a )
( d ) ( v1 v2 a a a )
where d denotes a diagonal element of the reduced matrix, a denotes an element of the original matrix
that is unchanged, and vi denotes an element of the vector defining H(i).
