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



NAME
       PZLASCL  -  multiplie  the  M-by-N  complex distributed matrix sub( A )
       denoting A(IA:IA+M-1,JA:JA+N-1) by the real scalar CTO/CFROM

SYNOPSIS
       SUBROUTINE PZLASCL( TYPE, CFROM, CTO, M, N, A, IA, JA, DESCA, INFO )

           CHARACTER       TYPE

           INTEGER         IA, INFO, JA, M, N

           DOUBLE          PRECISION CFROM, CTO

           INTEGER         DESCA( * )

           COMPLEX*16      A( * )

PURPOSE
       PZLASCL multiplies the M-by-N  complex  distributed  matrix  sub(  A  )
       denoting  A(IA:IA+M-1,JA:JA+N-1)  by the real scalar CTO/CFROM. This is
       done without over/underflow as long as the final result CTO * A(I,J)  /
       CFROM  does  not  over/underflow.  TYPE  specifies that sub( A ) may be
       full, upper triangular, lower triangular or upper Hessenberg.


       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
       TYPE    (global input) CHARACTER
               TYPE indices the storage type of the input distributed  matrix.
               = 'G':  sub( A ) is a full matrix,
               = 'L':  sub( A ) is a lower triangular matrix,

               CTO      (global input) DOUBLE PRECISION The distributed matrix
               sub( A ) is multiplied by CTO/CFROM.  A(I,J) is computed  with-
               out over/underflow if the final result CTO * A(I,J) / CFROM can
               be represented without over/underflow.  CFROM must be  nonzero.

       M       (global input) INTEGER
               The  number of rows to be operated on i.e the number of rows of
               the distributed submatrix sub( A ). M >= 0.

       N       (global input) INTEGER
               The number of columns to be  operated  on  i.e  the  number  of
               columns of the distributed submatrix sub( A ). N >= 0.

       A       (local input/local output) COMPLEX*16 pointer into the
               local  memory  to  an  array of dimension (LLD_A,LOCc(JA+N-1)).
               This array contains the local pieces of the distributed  matrix
               sub(  A ). On exit, this array contains the local pieces of the
               distributed matrix multiplied by CTO/CFROM.

       IA      (global input) INTEGER
               The row index in the global array A indicating the first row of
               sub( A ).

               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.

       INFO    (local 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.
