💖 PSORGQL — the LAPACK girlies' guide 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, because we're talking about PSORGQL from LAPACK routine (version 1.5) and she is that girl. Real distributed matrix energy, orthonormal columns, elementary reflectors — the whole vibe. Let's get into it. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

PSORGQL — generate an M-by-N real distributed matrix Q denoting A(IA:IA+M-1,JA:JA+N-1) with orthonormal columns, which is defined as the last N columns of a product of K elementary reflectors of order M Q = H(k)

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

SUBROUTINE PSORGQL( M, N, K, A, IA, JA, DESCA, TAU, WORK, LWORK, INFO )

    INTEGER         IA, INFO, JA, K, LWORK, M, N

    INTEGER         DESCA( * )

    REAL            A( * ), TAU( * ), WORK( * )

👑 PURPOSE 👑

PSORGQL generates an M-by-N real distributed matrix Q denoting A(IA:IA+M-1,JA:JA+N-1) with orthonormal columns, which is defined as the last N columns of a product of K elementary reflectors of order M

as returned by PSGEQLF.

🌸 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".

Here's the whole glossary, no skips, no cap: 💅

  • DTYPE_A (global) — stored in DESCA( DTYPE_ ) — the descriptor type. In this case, DTYPE_A = 1.
  • CTXT_A (global) — stored in DESCA( CTXT_ ) — the BLACS context handle, indicating the BLACS process grid A is distributed over. The context itself is global, but the handle (the integer value) may vary.
  • M_A (global) — stored in DESCA( M_ ) — the number of rows in the global array A.
  • N_A (global) — stored in DESCA( N_ ) — the number of columns in the global array A.
  • MB_A (global) — stored in DESCA( MB_ ) — the blocking factor used to distribute the rows of the array.
  • NB_A (global) — stored in DESCA( NB_ ) — the blocking factor used to distribute the columns of the array.
  • RSRC_A (global) — stored in DESCA( RSRC_ ) — the process row over which the first row of the array A is distributed.
  • CSRC_A (global) — stored in DESCA( CSRC_ ) — the process column over which the first column of the array A is distributed.
  • LLD_A (local) — stored in 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

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

  • M — (global input) INTEGER — the number of rows to be operated on i.e the number of rows of the distributed submatrix Q. M >= 0.
  • N — (global input) INTEGER — the number of columns to be operated on i.e the number of columns of the distributed submatrix Q. M >= N >= 0.
  • K — (global input) INTEGER — the number of elementary reflectors whose product defines the matrix Q. N >= K >= 0.
  • A — (local input/local output) REAL pointer into the local memory to an array of dimension (LLD_A,LOCc(JA+N-1)). On entry, the j-th column must contain the vector which defines the elementary reflector H(j), JA+N-K <= j <= JA+N-1, as returned by PSGEQLF in the K columns of its distributed matrix argument A(IA:*,JA+N-K:JA+N-1). On exit, this array contains the local pieces of the M-by-N distributed matrix Q. (she goes in as reflectors and comes out as Q, glow-up of the century ✨)
  • 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.
  • TAU — (local input) REAL, array, dimension LOCc(JA+N-1). This array contains the scalar factors TAU(j) of the elementary reflectors H(j) as returned by PSGEQLF. TAU is tied to the distributed matrix A. (they're literally attached, don't separate them 🫶)
  • WORK — (local workspace/local output) REAL array, dimension (LWORK). On exit, WORK(1) returns the minimal and optimal LWORK.
  • LWORK — (local or global input) INTEGER — the dimension of the array WORK. LWORK is local input and must be at least LWORK >= NB_A * ( NqA0 + MpA0 + NB_A ), where
IROFFA = MOD( IA-1, MB_A ), ICOFFA = MOD( JA-1, NB_A ), IAROW =
INDXG2P( IA, MB_A, MYROW, RSRC_A, NPROW ), IACOL = INDXG2P( JA,
NB_A, MYCOL, CSRC_A, NPCOL ), MpA0 = NUMROC( M+IROFFA, MB_A,
MYROW, IAROW, NPROW ), NqA0 = NUMROC( N+ICOFFA, NB_A, MYCOL,
IACOL, NPCOL ),

INDXG2P and NUMROC are ScaLAPACK tool functions; MYROW, MYCOL, NPROW and NPCOL can be determined by calling the subroutine BLACS_GRIDINFO.

Heads up bestie: if LWORK = -1, then LWORK is global input and a workspace query is assumed; the routine only calculates the minimum and optimal size for all work arrays. Each of these values is returned in the first entry of the corresponding work array, and no error message is issued by PXERBLA. (it's the "just tell me how much space I need" mode, no yelling, no PXERBLA, iconic behavior honestly)
  • 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.

and that's the whole page, bestie, you ate that 🍓
