PDGETRS and PZGETRS--General Matrix Solve

PDGETRS solves one of the following systems of equations for multiple right-hand sides:

1. AX = B
2. ATX = B

PZGETRS solves one of the following systems of equations for multiple right-hand sides:

1. AX = B
2. ATX = B
3. AHX = B

In the formulas above:

A represents the global general submatrix Aia:ia+n-1, ja:ja+n-1 containing the LU factorization.
B represents the global general submatrix Bib:ib+n-1, jb:jb+nrhs-1 containing the right-hand sides in its columns.
X represents the global general submatrix Bib:ib+n-1, jb:jb+nrhs-1 containing the solution vectors in its columns.

These subroutines use the results of the factorization of matrix A, produced by a preceding call to PDGETRF or PZGETRF, respectively. For details on the factorization, see PDGETRF and PZGETRF--General Matrix Factorization.

If n = 0 or nrhs = 0, no computation is performed and the subroutine returns after doing some parameter checking. See references [16], [18], [22], [36], and [37].

Syntax

Fortran CALL PDGETRS | PZGETRS (transa, n, nrhs, a, ia, ja, desc_a, ipvt, b, ib, jb, desc_b, info)
C and C++ pdgetrs | pzgetrs (transa, n, nrhs, a, ia, ja, desc_a, ipvt, b, ib, jb, desc_b, info);

On Entry

transa
indicates the form of matrix A to use in the computation, where:

If transa = 'N', A is used in the computation, resulting in solution 1.

If transa = 'T', AT is used in the computation, resulting in solution 2.

If transa = 'C', AH is used in the computation, resulting in solution 3.

Scope: global

Specified as: a single character; transa = 'N', 'T', or 'C'.

n
is the order of the factored submatrix A and the number of rows in submatrix B.

Scope: global

Specified as: a fullword integer; n >= 0.

nrhs
is the number of right-hand sides-- that is, the number of columns in submatrix B used in the computation.

Scope: global

Specified as: a fullword integer; nrhs >= 0.

a
is the local part of the global general matrix A, containing the factorization of matrix A produced by a preceding call to PDGETRF or PZGETRF, respectively. This identifies the first element of the local array A. This subroutine computes the location of the first element of the local subarray used, based on ia, ja, desc_a, p, q, myrow, and mycol; therefore, the leading LOCp(ia+n-1) by LOCq(ja+n-1) part of the local array A must contain the local pieces of the leading ia+n-1 by ja+n-1 part of the global matrix.

Scope: local

Specified as: an LLD_A by (at least) LOCq(N_A) array, containing numbers of the data type indicated in Table 60. Details about the square block-cyclic data distribution of global matrix A are stored in desc_a.

ia
is the row index of the global matrix A, identifying the first row of the submatrix A.

Scope: global

Specified as: a fullword integer; 1 <= ia <= M_A and ia+n-1 <= M_A.

is the column index of the global matrix A, identifying the first column of the submatrix A.

Scope: global

Specified as: a fullword integer; 1 <= ja <= N_A and ja+n-1 <= N_A.

desc_a
is the array descriptor for global matrix A, described in the following table:
desc_a Name Description Limits Scope

Otherwise:
M_A >= 1
Global

Specified as: an array of (at least) length 9, containing fullword integers.

ipvt
is the local part of the global vector ipvt, containing the pivoting indices produced on a preceding call to PDGETRF or PZGETRF, respectively. This identifies the first element of the local array IPVT. This subroutine computes the location of the first element of the local subarray used, based on ia, desc_a, p, and myrow; therefore, the leading LOCp(ia+n-1) part of the local array IPVT must contain the local pieces of the leading ia+n-1 part of the global vector.

A copy of the vector ipvt, with a block size of MB_A and global index ia, is contained in each column of the process grid. The process row over which the first row of ipvt is distributed is RSRC_A.

Scope: local

Specified as: an array of (at least) length LOCp(ia+n-1), containing fullword integers, where ia <= (pivoting index values) <= ia+n-1. Details about the block-cyclic data distribution of global vector ipvt are stored in desc_a.

b
is the local part of the global general matrix B, containing the right-hand sides of the system. This identifies the first element of the local array B. This subroutine computes the location of the first element of the local subarray used, based on ib, jb, desc_b, p, q, myrow, and mycol; therefore, the leading LOCp(ib+n-1) by LOCq(jb+nrhs-1) part of the local array B must contain the local pieces of the leading ib+n-1 by jb+nrhs-1 part of the global matrix.

Scope: local

Specified as: an LLD_B by (at least) LOCq(N_B) array, containing numbers of the data type indicated in Table 60. Details about the block-cyclic data distribution of global matrix B are stored in desc_b.

Notes and Coding Rules
  1. In your C program, argument info must be passed by reference.
  2. This subroutine accepts lowercase letters for the transa argument.
  3. For PDGETRS, if you specify 'C' for the transa argument, it is interpreted as though you specified 'T'.
  4. The matrices and vector must have no common elements; otherwise, results are unpredictable.
  5. The scalar data specified for input argument n must be the same for both PDGETRF/PZGETRF and PDGETRS/PZGETRS. In addition, the scalar data specified for input argument m in PDGETRF/PZGETRF must be the same as input argument n in both PDGETRF/PZGETRF and PDGETRS/PZGETRS.

    If, however, you do not plan to call PDGETRS/PZGETRS after calling PDGETRF/PZGETRF, then input arguments m and n in PDGETRF/PZGETRF do not need to be equal.

  6. The global submatrices for A and ipvt input to PDGETRS/PZGETRS must be the same as for the corresponding output arguments for PDGETRF/PZGETRF; and thus, the scalar data specified for ia, ja, and the contents of desc_a must also be the same.
  7. The NUMROC utility subroutine can be used to determine the values of LOCp(M_) and LOCq(N_) used in the argument descriptions above. For details, see Determining the Number of Rows and Columns in Your Local Arrays and NUMROC--Compute the Number of Rows or Columns of a Block-Cyclically Distributed Matrix Contained in a Process.
  8. For suggested block sizes, see Coding Tips for Optimizing Parallel Performance.
  9. On both input and output, matrices A and B conform to ScaLAPACK format.
  10. The following values must be equal: CTXT_A = CTXT_B.
  11. The global general matrix A must be distributed using a square block-cyclic distribution; that is, MB_A = NB_A.
  12. The following block sizes must be equal: MB_A = MB_B.
  13. The global general matrix A must be aligned on a block row boundary; that is, ia-1 must be a multiple of MB_A.
  14. The block row offset of A must be equal to the block column offset of A; that is, mod(ia-1, MB_A) = mod(ja-1, NB_A).
  15. The block row offset of A must be equal to the block row offset of B; that is, mod(ia-1, MB_A) = mod(ib-1, MB_B).
  16. In the process grid, the process row containing the first row of the submatrix A must also contain the first row of the submatrix B; that is, iarow = ibrow, where:
    iarow = mod((((ia-1)/MB_A)+RSRC_A), p)
    ibrow = mod((((ib-1)/MB_B)+RSRC_B), p)
  17. There is no array descriptor for ipvt. It is a column-distributed vector with block size MB_A, local arrays of dimension LOCp(ia+n-1) by 1, and global index ia. A copy of this vector exists on each column of the process grid, and the process row over which the first column of ipvt is distributed is RSRC_A.

Error Conditions

Computational Errors

None

Note:
If the factorization performed by PDGETRF/PZGETRF failed because of a singular matrix A, the results returned by this subroutine are unpredictable. For details, see the info output argument for PDGETRF/PZGETRF.

Notes:

  1. icontxt is the output of the BLACS_GRIDINIT call.

  2. Each process should set the LLD_ as follows:
    LLD_A = MAX(1,NUMROC(M_A, MB_A, MYROW, RSRC_A, NPROW))
    LLD_B = MAX(1,NUMROC(M_B, MB_B, MYROW, RSRC_B, NPROW))
    

    In this example, LLD_A = LLD_B = 3 on P00 and P01, and LLD_A = LLD_B = 6 on P10 and P11.

After the global matrix B is distributed over the process grid, only a portion of the global data structure is used--that is, global submatrix B. Following is the global 9 × 5 submatrix B, starting at row 1 and column 2 in global general 9 × 6 matrix B with block size 3 × 2:
