NAME

A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1)*X = B(IB:IB+N-1,JB:JB+NRHS-1)
SYNOPSIS
SUBROUTINE PZPOTRS( UPLO, N, NRHS, A, IA, JA, DESCA, B, IB, JB, DESCB,
INFO )
CHARACTER UPLO
INTEGER IA, IB, INFO, JA, JB, N, NRHS
INTEGER DESCA( * ), DESCB( * )
COMPLEX*16 A( * ), B( * )
PURPOSE
PZPOTRS solves a system of linear equations sub( A ) * X = sub( B )
A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1)*X = B(IB:IB+N-1,JB:JB+NRHS-1) where sub( A )
denotes A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1) and is a N-by-N hermitian positive
definite distributed matrix using the Cholesky factorization sub( A ) =
U**H*U or L*L**H computed by PZPOTRF. sub( B ) denotes the distributed
matrix B(IB:IB+N-1,JB:JB+NRHS-1).
Notes
=====
Each global data object is described by an associated description
vector. This vector stores the information required to establish the
mapping 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
column.
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
This routine requires square block decomposition ( MB_A = NB_A ).
ARGUMENTS
UPLO (global input) CHARACTER
= 'U': Upper triangle of sub( A ) is stored;
= 'L': Lower triangle of sub( A ) is stored.
N (global input) INTEGER
The number of rows and columns to be operated on, i.e. the
order of the distributed submatrix sub( A ). N >= 0.
NRHS (global input) INTEGER
The number of right hand sides, i.e., the number of columns of
the distributed submatrix sub( B ). NRHS >= 0.
A (local input) COMPLEX*16 pointer into local memory to
an array of dimension (LLD_A, LOCc(JA+N-1)). On entry, this
array contains the factors L or U from the Cholesky facto-
rization sub( A ) = L*L**H or U**H*U, as computed by PZPOTRF.
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.
B (local input/local output) COMPLEX*16 pointer into the
local memory to an array of local dimension
(LLD_B,LOCc(JB+NRHS-1)). On entry, this array contains the the
local pieces of the right hand sides sub( B ). On exit, this
array contains the local pieces of the solution distributed
matrix X.
IB (global input) INTEGER
The row index in the global array B indicating the first row of
sub( B ).
JB (global input) INTEGER
The column index in the global array B indicating the first
column of sub( B ).
DESCB (global and local input) INTEGER array of dimension DLEN_.
The array descriptor for the distributed matrix B.
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.
