NAME
SSYMM - perform one of the matrix-matrix operations C := alpha*A*B + beta*C,
SYNOPSIS
SUBROUTINE SSYMM ( SIDE, UPLO, M, N, ALPHA, A, LDA, B, LDB, BETA, C, LDC )
CHARACTER*1 SIDE, UPLO
INTEGER M, N, LDA, LDB, LDC
REAL ALPHA, BETA
REAL A( LDA, * ), B( LDB, * ), C( LDC, * )
PURPOSE
SSYMM performs one of the matrix-matrix operations
or
C := alpha*B*A + beta*C,
where alpha and beta are scalars, A is a symmetric matrix and B and C are m by n matrices.
PARAMETERS
SIDE - CHARACTER*1.
On entry, SIDE specifies whether the symmetric matrix A appears on the left or right in the
operation as follows:
SIDE = 'L' or 'l' C := alpha*A*B + beta*C,
SIDE = 'R' or 'r' C := alpha*B*A + beta*C,
Unchanged on exit.
UPLO - CHARACTER*1.
On entry, UPLO specifies whether the upper or lower triangular part of the symmetric
matrix A is to be referenced as follows:
UPLO = 'U' or 'u' Only the upper triangular part of the symmetric matrix is to be referenced.
UPLO = 'L' or 'l' Only the lower triangular part of the symmetric matrix is to be referenced.
Unchanged on exit.
M - INTEGER.
On entry, M specifies the number of rows of the matrix C. M must be at least zero. Unchanged
on exit.
N - INTEGER.
On entry, N specifies the number of columns of the matrix C. N must be at least zero. Unchanged
on exit.
ALPHA - REAL .
On entry, ALPHA specifies the scalar alpha. Unchanged on exit.
A - REAL array of DIMENSION ( LDA, ka ), where ka is
m when SIDE = 'L' or 'l' and is n otherwise. Before entry with SIDE = 'L' or 'l', the m
by m part of the array A must contain the symmetric matrix, such that when UPLO = 'U' or
'u', the leading m by m upper triangular part of the array A must contain the upper triangular
part of the symmetric matrix and the strictly lower triangular part of A is not referenced,
and when UPLO = 'L' or 'l', the leading m by m lower triangular part of the array A must
contain the lower triangular part of the symmetric matrix and the strictly upper triangular
part of A is not referenced. Before entry with SIDE = 'R' or 'r', the n by n part of the
array A must contain the symmetric matrix, such that when UPLO = 'U' or 'u', the leading n by
n upper triangular part of the array A must contain the upper triangular part of the symmetric
matrix and the strictly lower triangular part of A is not referenced, and when UPLO = 'L' or
'l', the leading n by n lower triangular part of the array A must contain the lower
triangular part of the symmetric matrix and the strictly upper triangular part of A is not
referenced. Unchanged on exit.
LDA - INTEGER.
On entry, LDA specifies the first dimension of A as declared in the calling (sub) program. When
SIDE = 'L' or 'l' then LDA must be at least max( 1, m ), otherwise LDA must be at least max(
1, n ). Unchanged on exit.
B - REAL array of DIMENSION ( LDB, n ).
Before entry, the leading m by n part of the array B must contain the matrix B. Unchanged on
exit.
LDB - INTEGER.
On entry, LDB specifies the first dimension of B as declared in the calling (sub) program.
LDB must be at least max( 1, m ). Unchanged on exit.
BETA - REAL .
On entry, BETA specifies the scalar beta. When BETA is supplied as zero then C need not be
set on input. Unchanged on exit.
C - REAL array of DIMENSION ( LDC, n ).
Before entry, the leading m by n part of the array C must contain the matrix C, except when
beta is zero, in which case C need not be set on entry. On exit, the array C is overwritten by
the m by n updated matrix.
LDC - INTEGER.
On entry, LDC specifies the first dimension of C as declared in the calling (sub) program.
LDC must be at least max( 1, m ). Unchanged on exit.
Level 3 Blas routine.
