PDLACPY(3)    ScaLAPACK routine of NEC Numeric Library Collection   PDLACPY(3)



NAME
       PDLACPY  -  copie all or part of a distributed matrix A to another dis-
       tributed matrix B

SYNOPSIS
       SUBROUTINE PDLACPY( UPLO, M, N, A, IA, JA, DESCA, B, IB, JB, DESCB )

           CHARACTER       UPLO

           INTEGER         IA, IB, JA, JB, M, N

           INTEGER         DESCA( * ), DESCB( * )

           DOUBLE          PRECISION A( * ), B( * )

PURPOSE
       PDLACPY copies all or part of a distributed matrix A  to  another  dis-
       tributed  matrix  B.  No communication is performed, PDLACPY 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).


       Notes
       =====

       Each  global data object is described by an associated description vec-
       tor.  This vector stores the information required to establish the map-
       ping 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  col-
       umn.
       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

               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.

               sub( B ) set as follows:
