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 left or the right

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( * )

	   REAL 	  C( * ), TAU( * ), V( * ), WORK( * )

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 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 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.

ARGUMENTS

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

	       LWORK  >=  MpC0	+  MAX( MAX( 1, NqC0 ), NUMROC( NUMROC( M+IROFFC,MB_V,0,0,NPROW ),MB_V,0,0,LCMP ) ) else if SIDE = 'R', if IVROW =
	       ICROW, LWORK >= MpC0 else LWORK >= NqC0 + MAX( 1, MpC0 ) end if end if end if

	       where LCM is the least common multiple of NPROW and NPCOL and LCM = ILCM( NPROW, NPCOL ), LCMP = LCM / NPROW, LCMQ = LCM / NPCOL,

	       IROFFC = MOD( IC-1, MB_C ), ICOFFC = MOD( JC-1, NB_C ), ICROW = INDXG2P( IC, MB_C, MYROW, RSRC_C, NPROW ),  ICCOL  =  INDXG2P(  JC,

	       NPCOL ),

	       ILCM, INDXG2P and NUMROC are ScaLAPACK tool functions; MYROW, MYCOL, NPROW and NPCOL can be determined by  calling  the	subroutine
	       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. IVCOL.EQ.ICCOL ) end if
