5 Arguments

1: order Nag_OrderType Input
On entry: the order argument specifies the two-dimensional storage scheme being used, i.e., row-major ordering or column-major ordering. C language defined storage is specified by order=Nag_RowMajor. See Section 3.1.3 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for a more detailed explanation of the use of this argument.
Constraint: order=Nag_RowMajor or Nag_ColMajor.
2: trans Nag_TransType Input
On entry: specifies the operation to be performed.
trans=Nag_NoTrans
BA.
trans=Nag_Trans or Nag_ConjTrans
BAT.
Constraint: trans=Nag_NoTrans, Nag_Trans or Nag_ConjTrans.
3: m Integer Input
On entry: m, the number of rows of the matrix A.
Constraint: m0.
4: n Integer Input
On entry: n, the number of columns of the matrix A.
Constraint: n0.
5: a[dim] const double Input
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array a must be at least
  • max1,pda×n when order=Nag_ColMajor;
  • max1,m×pda when order=Nag_RowMajor.
If order=Nag_ColMajor, Aij is stored in a[j-1×pda+i-1].
If order=Nag_RowMajor, Aij is stored in a[i-1×pda+j-1].
On entry: the m by n general matrix A.
6: pda Integer Input
On entry: the stride separating row or column elements (depending on the value of order) in the array a.
Constraints:
  • if order=Nag_ColMajor, pdamax1,m;
  • if order=Nag_RowMajor, pdamax1,n.
7: b[dim] double Output
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array b must be at least
  • max1,pdb×n when trans=Nag_NoTrans and order=Nag_ColMajor;
  • max1,m×pdb when trans=Nag_NoTrans and order=Nag_RowMajor;
  • max1,pdb×m when trans=Nag_Trans or Nag_ConjTrans and order=Nag_ColMajor;
  • max1,n×pdb when trans=Nag_Trans or Nag_ConjTrans and order=Nag_RowMajor.
If order=Nag_ColMajor, Bij is stored in b[j-1×pdb+i-1].
If order=Nag_RowMajor, Bij is stored in b[i-1×pdb+j-1].
On exit: the matrix B; B is n by k if trans=Nag_NoTrans, or k by n otherwise.
8: pdb Integer Input
On entry: the stride separating row or column elements (depending on the value of order) in the array b.
Constraints:
  • if order=Nag_ColMajor,
    • if trans=Nag_NoTrans, pdbmax1,m;
    • if trans=Nag_Trans or Nag_ConjTrans, pdbmax1,n;
  • if order=Nag_RowMajor,
    • if trans=Nag_NoTrans, pdbmax1,n;
    • if trans=Nag_Trans or Nag_ConjTrans, pdbmax1,m.
9: fail NagError * Input/Output
The NAG error argument (see Section 7 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface).

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 Parallelism and Performance

f16qfc is not threaded in any implementation.
