PSLAMCH(l)					      LAPACK auxiliary routine (version 1.5)						PSLAMCH(l)

NAME

       PSLAMCH - determine single precision machine parameters

SYNOPSIS

       REAL FUNCTION PSLAMCH( ICTXT, CMACH )

	   CHARACTER CMACH

	   INTEGER   ICTXT

PURPOSE

       PSLAMCH determines single precision machine parameters.

ARGUMENTS

       ICTXT   (global input) INTEGER
	       The BLACS context handle in which the computation takes place.

       CMACH   (global input) CHARACTER*1
	       Specifies the value to be returned by PSLAMCH:
	       = 'E' or 'e',   PSLAMCH := eps
	       = 'S' or 's ,   PSLAMCH := sfmin
	       = 'B' or 'b',   PSLAMCH := base
	       = 'P' or 'p',   PSLAMCH := eps*base
	       = 'N' or 'n',   PSLAMCH := t
	       = 'R' or 'r',   PSLAMCH := rnd
	       = 'M' or 'm',   PSLAMCH := emin
	       = 'U' or 'u',   PSLAMCH := rmin
	       = 'L' or 'l',   PSLAMCH := emax
	       = 'O' or 'o',   PSLAMCH := rmax

	       where

       eps   = relative machine precision
	     sfmin  = safe minimum, such that 1/sfmin does not overflow base  = base of the machine prec  = eps*base t	   = number of (base) dig-
	     its in the mantissa rnd   = 1.0 when rounding occurs in addition, 0.0 otherwise emin  = minimum exponent before  (gradual)  underflow
	     rmin    =	 underflow  threshold  -  base**(emin-1)  emax	 =  largest  exponent  before  overflow  rmax	=  overflow  threshold	 -

NAME

       slamch.f -

SYNOPSIS

   Functions/Subroutines
       REAL function slamch (CMACH)
	   SLAMCH
       REAL function slamc3 (A, B)
	   SLAMC3

Function/Subroutine Documentation
   REAL function slamc3 (realA, realB)
       SLAMC3 Purpose:

	SLAMC3	is intended to force  A  and  B  to be stored prior to doing
	the addition of  A  and  B ,  for use in situations where optimizers
	might hold one of these in a register.
