NAME
PSLARFT - form the triangular factor T of a real block reflector H of order n, which is
defined as a product of k elementary reflectors
SYNOPSIS
SUBROUTINE PSLARFT( DIRECT, STOREV, N, K, V, IV, JV, DESCV, TAU, T, WORK )
CHARACTER DIRECT, STOREV
INTEGER IV, JV, K, N
INTEGER DESCV( * )
REAL TAU( * ), T( * ), V( * ), WORK( * )
PURPOSE
PSLARFT forms the triangular factor T of a real block reflector H of order n, which is
defined as a product of k elementary reflectors.
If DIRECT = 'F', H = H(1) H(2) . . . H(k) and T is upper triangular;
If DIRECT = 'B', H = H(k) . . . H(2) H(1) and T is lower triangular.
If STOREV = 'C', the vector which defines the elementary reflector H(i) is stored in the
i-th column of the distributed matrix V, and
H = I - V * T * V'
If STOREV = 'R', the vector which defines the elementary reflector H(i) is stored in the
i-th row of the distributed matrix V, and
H = I - V' * T * V
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
DIRECT (global input) CHARACTER*1
Specifies the order in which the elementary reflectors are multiplied to form the
block reflector:
= 'F': H = H(1) H(2) . . . H(k) (Forward)
= 'B': H = H(k) . . . H(2) H(1) (Backward)
STOREV (global input) CHARACTER*1
Specifies how the vectors which define the elementary reflectors are stored (see
also Further Details):
= 'R': rowwise
N (global input) INTEGER
The order of the block reflector H. N >= 0.
K (global input) INTEGER
The order of the triangular factor T (= the number of elementary reflectors). 1 <=
K <= MB_V (= NB_V).
V (input/output) REAL pointer into the local memory
to an array of local dimension (LOCr(IV+N-1),LOCc(JV+K-1)) if STOREV = 'C', and
(LOCr(IV+K-1),LOCc(JV+N-1)) if STOREV = 'R'. The distributed matrix V contains the
Householder vectors. See further details.
IV (global input) INTEGER
The row index in the global array V indicating the first row of sub( V ).
JV (global input) INTEGER
The column index in the global array V indicating the first column of sub( V ).
DESCV (global and local input) INTEGER array of dimension DLEN_.
The array descriptor for the distributed matrix V.
TAU (local input) REAL, array, dimension LOCr(IV+K-1)
if INCV = M_V, and LOCc(JV+K-1) otherwise. This array contains the Householder
scalars related to the Householder vectors. TAU is tied to the distributed matrix
V.
T (local output) REAL array, dimension (NB_V,NB_V)
if STOREV = 'Col', and (MB_V,MB_V) otherwise. It contains the k-by-k triangular
factor of the block reflector asso- ciated with V. If DIRECT = 'F', T is upper
triangular; if DIRECT = 'B', T is lower triangular.
WORK (local workspace) REAL array,
dimension (K*(K-1)/2)
FURTHER DETAILS
The shape of the matrix V and the storage of the vectors which define the H(i) is best
illustrated by the following example with n = 5 and k = 3. The elements equal to 1 are not
stored; the corresponding array elements are modified but restored on exit. The rest of
the array is not used.
DIRECT = 'F' and STOREV = 'C': DIRECT = 'F' and STOREV = 'R':
V( IV:IV+N-1, ( 1 ) V( IV:IV+K-1, ( 1 v1 v1 v1 v1 )
JV:JV+K-1 ) = ( v1 1 ) JV:JV+N-1 ) = ( 1 v2 v2 v2 )
( v1 v2 1 ) ( 1 v3 v3 )
( v1 v2 v3 )
( v1 v2 v3 )
DIRECT = 'B' and STOREV = 'C': DIRECT = 'B' and STOREV = 'R':
V( IV:IV+N-1, ( v1 v2 v3 ) V( IV:IV+K-1, ( v1 v1 1 )
JV:JV+K-1 ) = ( v1 v2 v3 ) JV:JV+N-1 ) = ( v2 v2 v2 1 )
