potrs(3)

πŸ’… potrs(3) β€” the LAPACK girlies' triangular solve, bestie edition ✨

Okay so this is the potrs manual page from LAPACK, and no cap, it's literally four subroutines that all do the same iconic thing in different precisions. It's giving "Cholesky round two, electric boogaloo" and I'm obsessed. Let's get into it πŸŽ€


🌸 NAME 🌸

potrs β€” potrs: triangular solve using factor πŸ’–


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

πŸ¦‹ Functions πŸ¦‹

  • subroutine cpotrs (uplo, n, nrhs, a, lda, b, ldb, info) β€” CPOTRS
  • subroutine dpotrs (uplo, n, nrhs, a, lda, b, ldb, info) β€” DPOTRS
  • subroutine spotrs (uplo, n, nrhs, a, lda, b, ldb, info) β€” SPOTRS
  • subroutine zpotrs (uplo, n, nrhs, a, lda, b, ldb, info) β€” ZPOTRS

🌈 Detailed Description 🌈

Bestie, this page is literally just the function docs, one for each precision. Every single one of them solves A*X = B where A is a positive definite matrix that you already Cholesky-factored (via CPOTRF / DPOTRF / SPOTRF / ZOTRF, iykyk). Scroll for your fave πŸ’…
