left and/or right singular vectors
SYNOPSIS
SUBROUTINE PSGESVD( JOBU, JOBVT, M, N, A, IA, JA, DESCA, S, U, IU, JU, DESCU, VT, IVT, JVT, DESCVT, WORK,
LWORK, INFO )
CHARACTER JOBU, JOBVT
INTEGER IA, INFO, IU, IVT, JA, JU, JVT, LWORK, M, N

REAL A( * ), S( * ), U( * ), VT( * ), WORK( * )
PURPOSE
PSGESVD computes the singular value decomposition (SVD) of an M-by-N matrix A, optionally computing the
left and/or right singular vectors. The SVD is written as
A = U * SIGMA * transpose(V)
where SIGMA is an M-by-N matrix which is zero except for its min(M,N) diagonal elements, U is an M-by-M
orthogonal matrix, and V is an N-by-N orthogonal matrix. The diagonal elements of SIGMA are the singular
values of A and the columns of U and V are the corresponding right and left singular vectors,
respectively. The singular values are returned in array S in decreasing order and only the first min(M,N)
columns of U and rows of VT = V**T are computed.
Notes
=====
Each global data object is described by an associated description vector. This vector stores the
information required to establish the mapping between an object element and its corresponding process and
memory location.
Let A be a generic term for any 2D block cyclicly distributed array. Such a global array has an
associated description vector DESCA. In the following comments, the character _ should be read as "of
the global array".
NOTATION STORED IN EXPLANATION
--------------- -------------- -------------------------------------- DTYPE_A(global) DESCA( DTYPE_ )The
descriptor type. In this case,
DTYPE_A = 1.
CTXT_A (global) DESCA( CTXT_ ) The BLACS context handle, indicating
the BLACS process grid A is distribu-
ted over. The context itself is glo-
bal, but the handle (the integer
value) may vary.
M_A (global) DESCA( M_ ) The number of rows in the global
array A.
N_A (global) DESCA( N_ ) The number of columns in the global
array A.
MB_A (global) DESCA( MB_ ) The blocking factor used to distribute
the rows of the array.
NB_A (global) DESCA( NB_ ) The blocking factor used to distribute
the columns of the array.
RSRC_A (global) DESCA( RSRC_ ) The process row over which the first
row of the array A is distributed. CSRC_A (global) DESCA( CSRC_ ) The
process column over which the
first column of the array A is
distributed.
LLD_A (local) DESCA( LLD_ ) The leading dimension of the local
array. LLD_A >= MAX(1,LOCr(M_A)).
Let K be the number of rows or columns of a distributed matrix, and assume that its process grid has
dimension p x q. LOCr( K ) denotes the number of elements of K that a process would receive if K were
distributed over the p processes of its process column. Similarly, LOCc( K ) denotes the number of
elements of K that a process would receive if K were distributed over the q processes of its process row.
The values of LOCr() and LOCc() may be determined via a call to the ScaLAPACK tool function, NUMROC:
LOCr( M ) = NUMROC( M, MB_A, MYROW, RSRC_A, NPROW ),
LOCc( N ) = NUMROC( N, NB_A, MYCOL, CSRC_A, NPCOL ). An upper bound for these quantities may be
computed by:
LOCr( M ) <= ceil( ceil(M/MB_A)/NPROW )*MB_A
LOCc( N ) <= ceil( ceil(N/NB_A)/NPCOL )*NB_A
ARGUMENTS
MP = number of local rows in A and U NQ = number of local columns in A and VT SIZE = min( M, N ) SIZEQ =
number of local columns in U SIZEP = number of local rows in VT
JOBU (global input) CHARACTER*1
Specifies options for computing all or part of the matrix U:
= 'V': the first SIZE columns of U (the left singular vectors) are returned in the array U; =
'N': no columns of U (no left singular vectors) are computed.
JOBVT (global input) CHARACTER*1
Specifies options for computing all or part of the matrix V**T:
= 'V': the first SIZE rows of V**T (the right singular vectors) are returned in the array VT; =
'N': no rows of V**T (no right singular vectors) are computed.
M (global input) INTEGER
The number of rows of the input matrix A. M >= 0.
N (global input) INTEGER
The number of columns of the input matrix A. N >= 0.
A (local input/workspace) block cyclic REAL array,
global dimension (M, N), local dimension (MP, NQ) On exit, the contents of A are destroyed.
IA (global input) INTEGER
The row index in the global array A indicating the first row of sub( A ).
JA (global input) INTEGER
The column index in the global array A indicating the first column of sub( A ).
DESCA (global input) INTEGER array of dimension DLEN_
The array descriptor for the distributed matrix A.
S (global output) REAL array, dimension SIZE
The singular values of A, sorted so that S(i) >= S(i+1).
U (local output) REAL array, local dimension
(MP, SIZEQ), global dimension (M, SIZE) if JOBU = 'V', U contains the first min(m,n) columns of U
if JOBU = 'N', U is not referenced.
IU (global input) INTEGER
The row index in the global array U indicating the first row of sub( U ).
JU (global input) INTEGER
The column index in the global array U indicating the first column of sub( U ).
DESCU (global input) INTEGER array of dimension DLEN_
The array descriptor for the distributed matrix U.
VT (local output) REAL array, local dimension
(SIZEP, NQ), global dimension (SIZE, N). If JOBVT = 'V', VT contains the first SIZE rows of
V**T. If JOBVT = 'N', VT is not referenced.
IVT (global input) INTEGER
The row index in the global array VT indicating the first row of sub( VT ).
JVT (global input) INTEGER
The column index in the global array VT indicating the first column of sub( VT ).
DESCVT (global input) INTEGER array of dimension DLEN_
The array descriptor for the distributed matrix VT.
WORK (local workspace/output) REAL array, dimension
(LWORK) On exit, if INFO = 0, WORK(1) returns the optimal LWORK;
LWORK (local input) INTEGER
The dimension of the array WORK.
LWORK > 2 + 6*SIZEB + MAX(WATOBD, WBDTOSVD),
where SIZEB = MAX(M,N), and WATOBD and WBDTOSVD refer, respectively, to the workspace required to
bidiagonalize the matrix A and to go from the bidiagonal matrix to the singular value
decomposition U*S*VT.
For WATOBD, the following holds:
WATOBD = MAX(MAX(WPSLANGE,WPSGEBRD), MAX(WPSLARED2D,WPSLARED1D)),
where WPSLANGE, WPSLARED1D, WPSLARED2D, WPSGEBRD are the workspaces required respectively for the
subprograms PSLANGE, PSLARED1D, PSLARED2D, PSGEBRD. Using the standard notation
MP = NUMROC( M, MB, MYROW, DESCA( CTXT_ ), NPROW), NQ = NUMROC( N, NB, MYCOL, DESCA( LLD_ ),
NPCOL),
the workspaces required for the above subprograms are
WPSLANGE = MP, WPSLARED1D = NQ0, WPSLARED2D = MP0, WPSGEBRD = NB*(MP + NQ + 1) + NQ,
where NQ0 and MP0 refer, respectively, to the values obtained at MYCOL = 0 and MYROW = 0. In
general, the upper limit for the workspace is given by a workspace required on processor (0,0):
WATOBD <= NB*(MP0 + NQ0 + 1) + NQ0.
In case of a homogeneous process grid this upper limit can be used as an estimate of the minimum
workspace for every processor.
For WBDTOSVD, the following holds:
WBDTOSVD = SIZE*(WANTU*NRU + WANTVT*NCVT) + MAX(WDBDSQR, MAX(WANTU*WPSORMBRQLN,
WANTVT*WPSORMBRPRT)),
where
1, if left(right) singular vectors are wanted WANTU(WANTVT) = 0, otherwise
and WDBDSQR, WPSORMBRQLN and WPSORMBRPRT refer respectively to the workspace required for the subprograms
DBDSQR, PSORMBR(QLN), and PSORMBR(PRT), where QLN and PRT are the values of the arguments VECT, SIDE, and
TRANS in the call to PSORMBR. NRU is equal to the local number of rows of the matrix U when distributed
1-dimensional "column" of processes. Analogously, NCVT is equal to the local number of columns of the
matrix VT when distributed across 1-dimensional "row" of processes. Calling the LAPACK procedure DBDSQR
requires
WDBDSQR = MAX(1, 2*SIZE + (2*SIZE - 4)*MAX(WANTU, WANTVT))
on every processor. Finally,
WPSORMBRQLN = MAX( (NB*(NB-1))/2, (SIZEQ+MP)*NB)+NB*NB, WPSORMBRPRT = MAX( (MB*(MB-1))/2, (SIZEP+NQ)*MB
)+MB*MB,
If LIWORK = -1, then LIWORK is global input and a workspace query is assumed; the routine only calculates
the minimum size for the work array. The required workspace is returned as the first element of WORK and
no error message is issued by PXERBLA.
INFO (output) INTEGER
= 0: successful exit.
< 0: if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value.
> 0: if SBDSQR did not converge If INFO = MIN(M,N) + 1, then PSSYEV has detected heterogeneity
by finding that eigenvalues were not identical across the process grid. In this case, the
accuracy of the results from PSSYEV cannot be guaranteed.
