PURPOSE
       PSSYEVX computes selected eigenvalues and, optionally, eigenvectors  of
       a real symmetric matrix A by calling the recommended sequence of ScaLA-
       PACK routines. Eigenvalues/vectors can  be  selected  by  specifying  a
       range of values or a range of indices for the desired eigenvalues.


       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

       PSSYEVX  assumes  IEEE 754 standard compliant arithmetic.  To port to a
       system which does not have IEEE 754 arithmetic, modify the  appropriate
       SLmake.inc  file to include the compiler switch -DNO_IEEE.  This switch
       only affects the compilation of pslaiect.c.


ARGUMENTS
       NP = the number of rows local to a given process.  NQ = the  number  of
       columns local to a given process.

       JOBZ    (global input) CHARACTER*1
               Specifies whether or not to compute the eigenvectors:
               = 'N':  Compute eigenvalues only.
               = 'V':  Compute eigenvalues and eigenvectors.

       RANGE   (global input) CHARACTER*1
               = 'A': all eigenvalues will be found.
               = 'V': all eigenvalues in the interval [VL,VU] will be found.
               = 'I': the IL-th through IU-th eigenvalues will be found.

       UPLO    (global input) CHARACTER*1
               Specifies  whether  the  upper  or lower triangular part of the
               symmetric matrix A is stored:
               = 'U':  Upper triangular
               = 'L':  Lower triangular

       N       (global input) INTEGER
               The number of rows and columns of the matrix A.  N >= 0.

       A       (local input/workspace) block cyclic REAL array,
               global dimension (N, N), local dimension ( LLD_A,  LOCc(JA+N-1)
               )

               On  entry,  the  symmetric  matrix  A.  If UPLO = 'U', only the
               upper triangular part of A is used to define  the  elements  of
               the symmetric matrix.  If UPLO = 'L', only the lower triangular
               part of A is used to  define  the  elements  of  the  symmetric
               matrix.

               On exit, the lower triangle (if UPLO='L') or the upper triangle
               (if UPLO='U') of A, including the diagonal, is destroyed.

       IA      (global input) INTEGER
               A's global row index, which points to the beginning of the sub-
               matrix which is to be operated on.

       JA      (global input) INTEGER
               A's  global  column index, which points to the beginning of the
               submatrix which is to be operated on.

       DESCA   (global and local input) INTEGER array of dimension DLEN_.
               The array descriptor for the distributed matrix A.   If  DESCA(
               CTXT_  )  is  incorrect, PSSYEVX cannot guarantee correct error
               reporting.

       VL      (global input) REAL
               If RANGE='V', the lower bound of the interval  to  be  searched
               for eigenvalues.  Not referenced if RANGE = 'A' or 'I'.

       VU      (global input) REAL
               If  RANGE='V',  the  upper bound of the interval to be searched
               for eigenvalues.  Not referenced if RANGE = 'A' or 'I'.

       IL      (global input) INTEGER
               If RANGE='I', the index  (from  smallest  to  largest)  of  the
               smallest  eigenvalue  to be returned.  IL >= 1.  Not referenced
               if RANGE = 'A' or 'V'.

       IU      (global input) INTEGER
               If RANGE='I', the index  (from  smallest  to  largest)  of  the
               largest  eigenvalue to be returned.  min(IL,N) <= IU <= N.  Not
               referenced if RANGE = 'A' or 'V'.

       ABSTOL  (global input) REAL
               If JOBZ='V', setting ABSTOL to PSLAMCH(  CONTEXT,  'U')  yields
               the most orthogonal eigenvectors.

               The  absolute error tolerance for the eigenvalues.  An approxi-
               mate eigenvalue is accepted as converged when it is  determined
               to lie in an interval [a,b] of width less than or equal to

               ABSTOL + EPS *   max( |a|,|b| ) ,

               where  EPS is the machine precision.  If ABSTOL is less than or
               equal to zero, then EPS*norm(T) will  be  used  in  its  place,
               where  norm(T) is the 1-norm of the tridiagonal matrix obtained
               by reducing A to tridiagonal form.

               Eigenvalues will be computed most accurately when ABSTOL is set
               to  twice  the underflow threshold 2*PSLAMCH('S') not zero.  If
               this   routine   returns    with    ((MOD(INFO,2).NE.0)    .OR.
               (MOD(INFO/8,2).NE.0)),  indicating  that  some  eigenvalues  or
               eigenvectors  did  not  converge,   try   setting   ABSTOL   to
               2*PSLAMCH('S').

               See  "On  the  correctness  of  Parallel  Bisection in Floating
               Point" by Demmel, Dhillon and Ren, LAPACK Working Note #70

       M       (global output) INTEGER
               Total number of eigenvalues found.  0 <= M <= N.

       NZ      (global output) INTEGER
               Total number of eigenvectors computed.  0 <= NZ <= M.  The num-
               ber  of  columns of Z that are filled.  If JOBZ .NE. 'V', NZ is
               not referenced.  If JOBZ .EQ. 'V', NZ = M unless the user  sup-
               plies insufficient space and PSSYEVX is not able to detect this
               before beginning computation.   To  get  all  the  eigenvectors
               requested,  the  user must supply both sufficient space to hold
               the  eigenvectors  in  Z  (M  .LE.  DESCZ(N_))  and  sufficient
               workspace  to  compute  them.   (See  LWORK below.)  PSSYEVX is
               always able to detect insufficient  space  without  computation
               unless RANGE .EQ. 'V'.

       W       (global output) REAL array, dimension (N)
               On normal exit, the first M entries contain the selected eigen-
               values in ascending order.

       ORFAC   (global input) REAL
               Specifies  which  eigenvectors  should   be   reorthogonalized.
               Eigenvectors  that  correspond  to eigenvalues which are within
               tol=ORFAC*norm(A) of each other  are  to  be  reorthogonalized.
               However,  if the workspace is insufficient (see LWORK), tol may
               be decreased until all eigenvectors to be reorthogonalized  can
               be  stored in one process.  No reorthogonalization will be done
               if ORFAC equals zero.  A default value  of  10^-3  is  used  if
               ORFAC is negative.  ORFAC should be identical on all processes.

       Z       (local output) REAL array,
               global dimension (N, N), local dimension ( LLD_Z,  LOCc(JZ+N-1)
               )  If  JOBZ = 'V', then on normal exit the first M columns of Z
               contain the orthonormal eigenvectors of the matrix  correspond-
               ing  to  the  selected eigenvalues.  If an eigenvector fails to
               converge, then that column of Z contains the latest  approxima-
               tion  to  the  eigenvector, and the index of the eigenvector is
               returned in IFAIL.  If JOBZ = 'N', then Z is not referenced.

       IZ      (global input) INTEGER
               Z's global row index, which points to the beginning of the sub-
               matrix which is to be operated on.

       JZ      (global input) INTEGER
               Z's  global  column index, which points to the beginning of the
               submatrix which is to be operated on.

       DESCZ   (global and local input) INTEGER array of dimension DLEN_.
               The array descriptor for  the  distributed  matrix  Z.   DESCZ(
               CTXT_ ) must equal DESCA( CTXT_ )

       WORK    (local workspace/output) REAL array,
               dimension  (LWORK)  On  return,  WROK(1)  contains  the optimal
               amount of  workspace  required  for  efficient  execution.   if
               JOBZ='N' WORK(1) = optimal amount of workspace required to com-
               pute eigenvalues efficiently  if  JOBZ='V'  WORK(1)  =  optimal
               amount  of workspace required to compute eigenvalues and eigen-
               vectors efficiently with no  guarantee  on  orthogonality.   If
               RANGE='V', it is assumed that all eigenvectors may be required.

       LWORK   (local input) INTEGER
               Size of WORK See below for definitions  of  variables  used  to
               define  LWORK.   If  no eigenvectors are requested (JOBZ = 'N')
               then LWORK >= 5 * N + MAX( 5 * NN, NB * ( NP0 + 1 ) ) If eigen-
               vectors  are  requested  (JOBZ  =  'V'  )  then  the  amount of
               workspace required to guarantee that all eigenvectors are  com-
               puted is: LWORK >= 5*N + MAX( 5*NN, NP0 * MQ0 + 2 * NB * NB ) +
               ICEIL( NEIG, NPROW*NPCOL)*NN

               The computed eigenvectors may not be orthogonal if the  minimal
               workspace  is  supplied and ORFAC is too small.  If you want to
               guarantee orthogonality (at the cost of potentially  poor  per-
               formance)  you  should  add  the  following to LWORK: (CLUSTER-
               SIZE-1)*N where CLUSTERSIZE is the number of eigenvalues in the
               largest  cluster,  where a cluster is defined as a set of close
               eigenvalues: { W(K),...,W(K+CLUSTERSIZE-1) | W(J+1) <=  W(J)  +
               ORFAC*2*norm(A) } Variable definitions: NEIG = number of eigen-
               vectors requested NB = DESCA( MB_ ) = DESCA( NB_ ) = DESCZ( MB_
               )  =  DESCZ( NB_ ) NN = MAX( N, NB, 2 ) DESCA( RSRC_ ) = DESCA(
               NB_ ) = DESCZ( RSRC_ ) = DESCZ( CSRC_ ) = 0 NP0 =  NUMROC(  NN,
               NB,  0,  0, NPROW ) MQ0 = NUMROC( MAX( NEIG, NB, 2 ), NB, 0, 0,
               NPCOL ) ICEIL( X, Y ) is a ScaLAPACK function  returning  ceil-
               ing(X/Y)

               When  LWORK  is  too  small: If LWORK is too small to guarantee
               orthogonality, PSSYEVX attempts to  maintain  orthogonality  in
               the clusters with the smallest spacing between the eigenvalues.
               If  LWORK  is  too  small  to  compute  all  the   eigenvectors
               requested,   no   computation  is  performed  and  INFO=-23  is
               returned.  Note that when RANGE='V', PSSYEVX does not know  how
               many  eigenvectors are requested until the eigenvalues are com-
               puted.  Therefore, when RANGE='V' and as long as LWORK is large
               enough  to  allow  PSSYEVX  to compute the eigenvalues, PSSYEVX
               will compute the eigenvalues and as  many  eigenvectors  as  it
               can.

               Relationship  between  workspace,  orthogonality & performance:
               Greater performance can be achieved if  adequate  workspace  is
               provided.   On  the other hand, in some situations, performance
               can decrease as the  workspace  provided  increases  above  the
               workspace amount shown below:

               For  optimal performance, greater workspace may be needed, i.e.
               LWORK >=  MAX( LWORK, 5*N + NSYTRD_LWOPT  )  Where:  LWORK,  as
               defined  previously,  depends  upon  the number of eigenvectors
               requested, and NSYTRD_LWOPT = N + 2*( ANB+1 )*( 4*NPS+2 )  +  (
               NPS + 3 ) *  NPS

               ANB  =  PJLAENV( DESCA( CTXT_), 3, 'PSSYTTRD', 'L', 0, 0, 0, 0)
               SQNPC = INT( SQRT( DBLE( NPROW * NPCOL ) ) ) NPS = MAX( NUMROC(
               N, 1, 0, 0, SQNPC ), 2*ANB )

               NUMROC  is  a  ScaLAPACK tool functions; PJLAENV is a ScaLAPACK
               envionmental inquiry function MYROW, MYCOL, NPROW and NPCOL can
               be determined by calling the subroutine BLACS_GRIDINFO.

               For  large N, no extra workspace is needed, however the biggest
               boost in performance comes for small N, so it is wise  to  pro-
               vide  the  extra  workspace (typically less than a Megabyte per
               process).

               If CLUSTERSIZE >= N/SQRT(NPROW*NPCOL),  then  providing  enough
               space  to  compute all the eigenvectors orthogonally will cause
               serious degradation in performance. In the limit (i.e. CLUSTER-
               SIZE  =  N-1)  PSSTEIN  will perform no better than SSTEIN on 1
               processor.  For CLUSTERSIZE = N/SQRT(NPROW*NPCOL) reorthogonal-
               izing  all  eigenvectors will increase the total execution time
               by   a   factor   of   2   or   more.    For   CLUSTERSIZE    >
               N/SQRT(NPROW*NPCOL)  execution  time will grow as the square of
               the cluster size, all other factors remaining equal and  assum-
               ing  enough workspace.  Less workspace means less reorthogonal-
               ization but faster execution.

               If LWORK = -1, then LWORK is global input and a workspace query
               is  assumed;  the routine only calculates the size required for
               optimal performance for all work arrays. Each of  these  values
               is  returned  in  the  first  entry  of  the corresponding work
               arrays, and no error message is issued by PXERBLA.

       IWORK   (local workspace) INTEGER array
               On return, IWORK(1) contains the amount  of  integer  workspace
               required.

       LIWORK  (local input) INTEGER
               size  of  IWORK  LIWORK  >=  6  *  NNP  Where:  NNP  =  MAX( N,
               NPROW*NPCOL + 1, 4 ) If LIWORK =  -1,  then  LIWORK  is  global
               input and a workspace query is assumed; the routine only calcu-
               lates the minimum and optimal size for all work arrays. Each of
               these  values is returned in the first entry of the correspond-
               ing work array, and no error message is issued by PXERBLA.

       IFAIL   (global output) INTEGER array, dimension (N)
               If JOBZ = 'V', then on normal exit, the  first  M  elements  of
               IFAIL are zero.  If (MOD(INFO,2).NE.0) on exit, then IFAIL con-
               tains the indices of the eigenvectors that failed to  converge.
               If JOBZ = 'N', then IFAIL is not referenced.

               ICLUSTR    (global    output)    integer    array,    dimension
               (2*NPROW*NPCOL) This array  contains  indices  of  eigenvectors
               corresponding  to  a  cluster  of eigenvalues that could not be
               reorthogonalized due  to  insufficient  workspace  (see  LWORK,
               ORFAC  and  INFO).   Eigenvectors  corresponding to clusters of
               eigenvalues indexed ICLUSTR(2*I-1) to ICLUSTR(2*I),  could  not
               be  reorthogonalized due to lack of workspace. Hence the eigen-
               vectors corresponding to these clusters may not be  orthogonal.
               ICLUSTR() is a zero terminated array.  (ICLUSTR(2*K).NE.0 .AND.
               ICLUSTR(2*K+1).EQ.0) if and only if K is the number of clusters
               ICLUSTR is not referenced if JOBZ = 'N'

       GAP     (global output) REAL array,
               dimension  (NPROW*NPCOL)  This  array  contains the gap between
               eigenvalues whose eigenvectors could not  be  reorthogonalized.
               The  output  values  in  this  array correspond to the clusters
               indicated by the array ICLUSTR. As a result,  the  dot  product
               between eigenvectors correspoding to the I^th cluster may be as
               high as ( C * n ) / GAP(I) where C is a small constant.

       INFO    (global output) INTEGER
               = 0:  successful exit
               < 0:  If the i-th argument is an array and the j-entry  had  an
               illegal  value, then INFO = -(i*100+j), if the i-th argument is
               a scalar and had an illegal value, then INFO = -i.   >  0:   if
               (MOD(INFO,2).NE.0),  then  one  or  more eigenvectors failed to
               converge.   Their  indices  are  stored   in   IFAIL.    Ensure
               ABSTOL=2.0*PSLAMCH(  'U'  ) Send e-mail to scalapack@cs.utk.edu
               if (MOD(INFO/2,2).NE.0),then eigenvectors corresponding to  one
               or  more  clusters of eigenvalues could not be reorthogonalized
               because of insufficient workspace.  The indices of the clusters
               are stored in the array ICLUSTR.  if (MOD(INFO/4,2).NE.0), then
               space limit prevented PSSYEVX from computing all of the  eigen-
               vectors between VL and VU.  The number of eigenvectors computed
               is returned  in  NZ.   if  (MOD(INFO/8,2).NE.0),  then  PSSTEBZ
               failed  to compute eigenvalues.  Ensure ABSTOL=2.0*PSLAMCH( 'U'
               ) Send e-mail to scalapack@cs.utk.edu


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

       ( MB_A.EQ.NB_A.EQ.MB_Z .AND. IROFFA.EQ.IROFFZ .AND.  IROFFA.EQ.0  .AND.
       IAROW.EQ.IZROW  )  where  IROFFA  = MOD( IA-1, MB_A ) and ICOFFA = MOD(
       JA-1, NB_A ).
