NAG CL Interface
f16pcc (dsymv)

1 Purpose

f16pcc performs matrix-vector multiplication for a real symmetric matrix.

2 Specification

#include <nag.h>
void  f16pcc (Nag_OrderType order, Nag_UploType uplo, Integer n, double alpha, const double a[], Integer pda, const double x[], Integer incx, double beta, double y[], Integer incy, NagError *fail)
The function may be called by the names: f16pcc, nag_blast_dsymv or nag_dsymv.

3 Description

f16pcc performs the matrix-vector operation
yαAx+βy,  
where A is an n by n real symmetric matrix, x and y are n-element real vectors, and α and β are real scalars.

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: uplo Nag_UploType Input
On entry: specifies whether the upper or lower triangular part of A is stored.
uplo=Nag_Upper
The upper triangular part of A is stored.
uplo=Nag_Lower
The lower triangular part of A is stored.
Constraint: uplo=Nag_Upper or Nag_Lower.
3: n Integer Input
On entry: n, the order of the matrix A.
Constraint: n0.
4: alpha double Input
On entry: the scalar α.
5: a[dim] const double Input
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array a must be at least max1,pda×n.
On entry: the n by n symmetric matrix A.
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].
If uplo=Nag_Upper, the upper triangular part of A must be stored and the elements of the array below the diagonal are not referenced.
If uplo=Nag_Lower, the lower triangular part of A must be stored and the elements of the array above the diagonal are not referenced.
6: pda Integer Input
On entry: the stride separating row or column elements (depending on the value of order) of the matrix A in the array a.
Constraint: pdamax1,n.
7: x[dim] const double Input
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array x must be at least max1,1+n-1incx.
On entry: the n-element vector x.
If incx>0, xi must be stored in x[i-1×incx], for i=1,2,,n.
If incx<0, xi must be stored in x[n-i×incx], for i=1,2,,n.
Intermediate elements of x are not referenced. If n=0, x is not referenced and may be NULL.
8: incx Integer Input
On entry: the increment in the subscripts of x between successive elements of x.
Constraint: incx0.
9: beta double Input
On entry: the scalar β.
10: y[dim] double Input/Output
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array y must be at least max1,1+n-1incy.
On entry: the vector y. See x for details of storage.
If beta=0, y need not be set.
On exit: the updated vector y.
11: incy Integer Input
On entry: the increment in the subscripts of y between successive elements of y.
Constraint: incy0.
12: fail NagError * Input/Output
The NAG error argument (see Section 7 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface).

NE_BAD_PARAM
On entry, argument value had an illegal value.
NE_INT
On entry, incx=value.
Constraint: incx0.
On entry, incy=value.
Constraint: incy0.
On entry, n=value.
Constraint: n0.
NE_INT_2
On entry, pda=value, n=value.
Constraint: pdamax1,n.
NE_NO_LICENCE
Your licence key may have expired or may not have been installed correctly.
See Section 8 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for further information.

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

f16pcc is not threaded in any implementation.

9 Further Comments

None.
