NAME
PZLACP2 - copie all or part of a distributed matrix A to another distributed matrix B
SYNOPSIS
SUBROUTINE PZLACP2( UPLO, M, N, A, IA, JA, DESCA, B, IB, JB, DESCB )
CHARACTER UPLO
INTEGER IA, IB, JA, JB, M, N
INTEGER DESCA( * ), DESCB( * )
COMPLEX*16 A( * ), B( * )
PURPOSE
PZLACP2 copies all or part of a distributed matrix A to another distributed matrix B. No communication
is performed, PZLACP2 performs a local copy sub( A ) := sub( B ), where sub( A ) denotes
A(IA:IA+M-1,JA:JA+N-1) and sub( B ) denotes B(IB:IB+M-1,JB:JB+N-1). PZLACP2 requires that only dimension
of the matrix operands is distributed.
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 the part of the distributed matrix sub( A ) to be copied:
= 'U': Upper triangular part is copied; the strictly lower triangular part of sub( A ) is not
referenced; = 'L': Lower triangular part is copied; the strictly upper triangular part of sub(
A ) is not referenced; Otherwise: All of the matrix sub( A ) is copied.
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) COMPLEX*16 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 ) to be copied from.
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.
B (local output) COMPLEX*16 pointer into the local memory
to an array of dimension (LLD_B, LOCc(JB+N-1) ). This array contains on exit the local pieces of
the distributed matrix sub( B ) set as follows:
if UPLO = 'U', B(IB+i-1,JB+j-1) = A(IA+i-1,JA+j-1), 1<=i<=j, 1<=j<=N; if UPLO = 'L',
B(IB+i-1,JB+j-1) = A(IA+i-1,JA+j-1), j<=i<=M, 1<=j<=N; otherwise, B(IB+i-1,JB+j-1) =
A(IA+i-1,JA+j-1), 1<=i<=M, 1<=j<=N.
IB (global input) INTEGER
The row index in the global array B indicating the first row of sub( B ).
JB (global input) INTEGER
The column index in the global array B indicating the first column of sub( B ).
DESCB (global and local input) INTEGER array of dimension DLEN_.
The array descriptor for the distributed matrix B.
