NAME
       PSLARF - applie a real elementary reflector Q (or Q**T) to a real M-by-
       N distributed matrix sub( C ) = C(IC:IC+M-1,JC:JC+N-1), from either the

SYNOPSIS
       SUBROUTINE PSLARF( SIDE,  M, N, V, IV, JV, DESCV, INCV, TAU, C, IC, JC,
                          DESCC, WORK )

           CHARACTER      SIDE

           INTEGER        IC, INCV, IV, JC, JV, M, N

           INTEGER        DESCC( * ), DESCV( * )

PURPOSE
       PSLARF applies a real elementary reflector Q (or Q**T) to a real M-by-N
       distributed  matrix  sub( C ) = C(IC:IC+M-1,JC:JC+N-1), from either the
       left or the right. Q is represented in the form
             Q = I - tau * v * v'

       where tau is a real scalar and v is a real vector.

       If tau = 0, then Q is taken to be the unit matrix.


       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

       Because vectors may be viewed as a subclass of matrices, a  distributed
       vector is considered to be a distributed matrix.

       Restrictions
       ============

       If  SIDE  =  'Left' and INCV = 1, then the row process having the first
       entry V(IV,JV) must also have the first row  of  sub(  C  ).  Moreover,
       MOD(IV-1,MB_V)  must  be equal to MOD(IC-1,MB_C), if INCV=M_V, only the
       last equality must be satisfied.

       If SIDE = 'Right' and INCV = M_V then the  column  process  having  the
       first  entry  V(IV,JV)  must also have the first column of sub( C ) and
       MOD(JV-1,NB_V) must be equal to MOD(JC-1,NB_C), if INCV =  1  only  the
       last equality must be satisfied.

               to  an array of dimension (LLD_V,*) containing the local pieces
               of the  distributed  vectors  V  representing  the  Householder
               transformation Q, V(IV:IV+M-1,JV) if SIDE = 'L' and INCV = 1,

               tine BLACS_GRIDINFO.


ALIGNMENT REQUIREMENTS
       The distributed submatrices V(IV:*,  JV:*)  and  C(IC:IC+M-1,JC:JC+N-1)
       must verify some alignment properties, namely the following expressions
       should be true:

       MB_V = NB_V,

       If INCV = 1, If SIDE = 'Left', (  MB_V.EQ.MB_C  .AND.  IROFFV.EQ.IROFFC
       .AND.  IVROW.EQ.ICROW  )  If  SIDE  =  'Right',  (  MB_V.EQ.NB_A  .AND.
       MB_V.EQ.NB_C .AND. IROFFV.EQ.ICOFFC ) else if INCV =  M_V,  If  SIDE  =
       'Left',  (  MB_V.EQ.NB_V .AND. MB_V.EQ.MB_C .AND. ICOFFV.EQ.IROFFC ) If
       SIDE  =  'Right',   (   NB_V.EQ.NB_C   .AND.   ICOFFV.EQ.ICOFFC   .AND.
