Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms Technical (BLAST) Forum (2001) Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms Technical (BLAST) Forum Standard University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Tennessee http://www.netlib.org/blas/blast-forum/blas-report.pdf

5 Parameters

1: N – INTEGERInput: On entry: $n$ , the number of elements in $x$ .
2: X( $1 + (N - 1) \times |INCX|$ ) – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayInput: On entry: the vector $x$ . Element $x_{i}$ is stored in $X ((i - 1) \times |INCX| + 1)$ , for $i = 1, 2, \dots, n$ .
3: INCX – INTEGERInput: On entry: the increment in the subscripts of X between successive elements of $x$ .
Constraint: $INCX \neq 0$ .

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

INCX = 0

, an error message is printed and program execution is terminated.

7 Accuracy

The BLAS standard requires accurate implementations which avoid unnecessary over/underflow (see Section 2.7 of Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms Technical (BLAST) Forum (2001)).

8 Further Comments

None.

9 Example

This example computes the sum of the elements of

x = {(1.1, 10.2, 11.5, - 2.7, 9.2)}^{T} .
