The function may be called by the names: f07adc, nag_lapacklin_dgetrf or nag_dgetrf.
3Description
f07adc forms the factorization of a real matrix as , where is a permutation matrix, is lower triangular with unit diagonal elements (lower trapezoidal if ) and is upper triangular (upper trapezoidal if ). Usually is square , and both and are triangular. The function uses partial pivoting, with row interchanges.

NE_INTERNAL_ERROR
An internal error has occurred in this function. Check the function call and any array sizes. If the call is correct then please contact NAG for assistance.
See Section 7.5 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for further information.
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.
NE_SINGULAR
Element of the diagonal is exactly zero.
The factorization has been completed, but the factor
is exactly singular, and division by zero will occur if it is used to solve
a system of equations.
7Accuracy
The computed factors and are the exact factors of a perturbed matrix , where
is a modest linear function of , and is the machine precision.
8Parallelism and Performance
Background information to multithreading can be found in the Multithreading documentation.
f07adc is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
f07adc makes calls to BLAS and/or LAPACK routines, which may be threaded within the vendor library used by this implementation. Consult the documentation for the vendor library for further information.
Please consult the X06 Chapter Introduction for information on how to control and interrogate the OpenMP environment used within this function. Please also consult the Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.
