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



NAME
       PDLANSY - return the value of the one norm, or the Frobenius norm,

SYNOPSIS
       DOUBLE PRECISION FUNCTION  PDLANSY(  NORM,  UPLO,  N, A, IA, JA, DESCA,
                        WORK )

           CHARACTER    NORM, UPLO

           INTEGER      IA, JA, N

           INTEGER      DESCA( * )

           DOUBLE       PRECISION A( * ), WORK( * )

PURPOSE
       PDLANSY returns the value of the one norm, or the  Frobenius  norm,  or
       the  infinity  norm, or the element of largest absolute value of a real
       symmetric distributed matrix sub( A ) = A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1).

       PDLANSY returns the value

          ( max(abs(A(i,j))),  NORM = 'M' or 'm' with IA <= i <= IA+N-1,
          (                                      and  JA <= j <= JA+N-1,
          (
          ( norm1( sub( A ) ), NORM = '1', 'O' or 'o'
          (
          ( normI( sub( A ) ), NORM = 'I' or 'i'
          (
          ( normF( sub( A ) ), NORM = 'F', 'f', 'E' or 'e'

       where norm1  denotes the  one norm of a matrix  (maximum  column  sum),
       normI  denotes  the   infinity norm  of a matrix  (maximum row sum) and
       normF denotes the  Frobenius norm of a matrix (square root  of  sum  of
       squares).  Note that  max(abs(A(i,j)))  is not a  matrix norm.


       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
       NORM    (global input) CHARACTER
               Specifies  the  value  to  be  returned in PDLANSY as described
               above.

       UPLO    (global input) CHARACTER
               Specifies whether the upper or lower  triangular  part  of  the
               symmetric  matrix  sub( A ) is to be referenced.  = 'U':  Upper
               triangular part of sub( A ) is referenced,
               = 'L':  Lower triangular part of sub( A ) is referenced.

       N       (global input) INTEGER
               The number of rows and columns to be operated on i.e the number
               of rows and columns of the distributed submatrix sub( A ). When
               N = 0, PDLANSY is set to zero. N >= 0.

       A       (local input) DOUBLE PRECISION pointer into the local memory
               to an array of dimension (LLD_A, LOCc(JA+N-1))  containing  the
               local  pieces of the symmetric distributed matrix sub( A ).  If
               UPLO = 'U', the leading N-by-N upper triangular part of sub(  A
               ) contains the upper triangular matrix which norm is to be com-
               puted, and the strictly lower triangular part of this matrix is
               not referenced.  If UPLO = 'L', the leading N-by-N lower trian-
               gular part of sub( A ) contains  the  lower  triangular  matrix
               which norm is to be computed, and the strictly upper triangular
               part of sub( A ) is not referenced.

       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.

       WORK    (local workspace) DOUBLE PRECISION array dimension (LWORK)
               LWORK >= 0 if NORM = 'M' or 'm' (not referenced), 2*Nq0+Np0+LDW
               if NORM = '1', 'O', 'o', 'I' or 'i', where LDW is given by: IF(
               NPROW.NE.NPCOL          )          THEN          LDW          =
               MB_A*CEIL(CEIL(Np0/MB_A)/(LCM/NPROW))  ELSE LDW = 0 END IF 0 if
               NORM = 'F', 'f', 'E' or 'e' (not referenced),

               where LCM is the least common multiple of NPROW and NPCOL LCM =
               ILCM(  NPROW,  NPCOL  )  and CEIL denotes the ceiling operation
               (ICEIL).

               IROFFA = MOD( IA-1, MB_A ), ICOFFA = MOD( JA-1, NB_A ), IAROW =
               INDXG2P( IA, MB_A, MYROW, RSRC_A, NPROW ), IACOL = INDXG2P( JA,
               NB_A, MYCOL, CSRC_A, NPCOL ), Np0  =  NUMROC(  N+IROFFA,  MB_A,
               MYROW,  IAROW,  NPROW  ),  Nq0 = NUMROC( N+ICOFFA, NB_A, MYCOL,
               IACOL, NPCOL ),

               ICEIL, ILCM, INDXG2P and NUMROC are ScaLAPACK  tool  functions;
               MYROW,  MYCOL, NPROW and NPCOL can be determined by calling the
               subroutine BLACS_GRIDINFO.
