DESCRIPTION

      cvbrsm performs one of the matrix-matrix operations

        C <- alpha  op(A) B + beta C,     C <-alpha D op(A) B + beta C,
        C <- alpha  op(A) D B + beta C,

      where alpha and beta are scalars,  C and B are m by n dense matrices,
      D is a block  diagonal matrix,  A is a sparse m by m unit, or non-unit,
      upper or lower triangular matrix represented in the variable block
      sparse row format and  op( A )  is one  of

       op( A ) = inv(A) or  op( A ) = inv(A')  or  op( A ) =inv(conjg( A' ))
       (inv denotes matrix inverse,  ' indicates matrix transpose).
      The number of rows in A is determined as follows

             m=RPNTR(MB+1)-RPNTR(1).

ARGUMENTS

      TRANSA(input)   On entry, TRANSA indicates how to operate with the
                      sparse matrix:
                        0 : operate with matrix
                        1 : operate with transpose matrix
                        2 : operate with the conjugate transpose of matrix.
                          2 is equivalent to 1 if matrix is real.
                      Unchanged on exit.

      MB(input)       On entry, integer  MB  specifies the number of block rows
                      in the matrix A. Unchanged on exit.

      N(input)        On entry, integer N specifies the number of columns
                      in the matrix C. Unchanged on exit.

      DV(input)       On entry, array DV contains the block entries of the block
                      diagonal matrix D.  The size of the J-th block is
                      RPNTR(J+1)-RPNTR(J) and each block contains matrix
                      entries stored column-major.  The total length of
                      array DV is given by the formula:

                          sum over J from 1 to MB:
                               ((RPNTR(J+1)-RPNTR(J))*(RPNTR(J+1)-RPNTR(J)))
                      Unchanged on exit.
      ALPHA(input)    On entry, ALPHA specifies the scalar alpha.
                      Unchanged on exit.

      DESCRA (input)  Descriptor argument.  Five element integer array:
                      DESCRA(1) matrix structure
                        0 : general
                        1 : symmetric (A=A')
                        2 : Hermitian (A= CONJG(A'))

                        5 : Diagonal
                        6 : Skew-Hermitian (A= -CONJG(A'))
                      Note: For the routine, DESCRA(1)=3 is only supported.

                      DESCRA(2) upper/lower triangular indicator
                        1 : lower
                        2 : upper
                      DESCRA(3) main diagonal type
                         0 : non-identity blocks on the main diagonal
                         1 : identity diagonal blocks
                         2 : diagonal blocks are dense matrices
                      DESCRA(4) Array base  (NOT IMPLEMENTED)
                         0 : C/C++ compatible
                         1 : Fortran compatible
                      DESCRA(5) repeated indices? (NOT IMPLEMENTED)
                         0 : unknown
                         1 : no repeated indices

      VAL(input)      On entry,  scalar array VAL of length NNZ consists of the
                      block entries of A where each block entry is a dense
                      rectangular matrix stored column by column where NNZ
                      denotes the total number of point entries in all nonzero
                      block  entries of the matrix A. Unchanged on exit.

      INDX(input)     On entry, INDX is an integer array of length BNNZ+1 where BNNZ
                      is the number of block entries of the matrix A such that the
                      I-th element of INDX[] points to the location in VAL of
                      the (1,1) element of the I-th block entry. Unchanged on exit.

      BINDX(input)    On entry, BINDX is an integer array of length BNNZ consisting
                      of the block column indices of the block entries of A
                      where BNNZ is the number block entries of the matrix A.
                      Block column indices MUST be sorted in increasing order
                      for each block row. Unchanged on exit.

      RPNTR(input)    On entry, RPNTR is an integer array of length MB+1 such that
                      RPNTR(I)-RPNTR(1)+1 is the row index of the first point
                      row in the I-th block row. RPNTR(MB+1) is set to M+RPNTR(1)
                      where M is the number of rows in the matrix A.
                      Thus, the number of point rows in the I-th block row is
                      RPNTR(I+1)-RPNTR(I). Unchanged on exit.
                      NOTE:  For the current version CPNTR must equal RPNTR
                      and a single array can be passed for both arguments

      CPNTR(input)    On entry, CPNTR is  integer array of length KB+1 such that
                      CPNTR(J)-CPNTR(1)+1 is the column index of the first point
                      column in the J-th block column. CPNTR(KB+1) is set to
                      K+CPNTR(1) where K is the number of columns in the matrix A.
                      Thus, the number of point columns in the J-th block column
                      is CPNTR(J+1)-CPNTR(J). Unchanged on exit.

                      NOTE: For the current version CPNTR must equal RPNTR
                      and a single array can be passed for both arguments

      BPNTRB(input)   On entry, BPNTRB is an integer array of length MB such that
                      BPNTRB(I)-BPNTRB(1)+1 points to location in BINDX of the
                      first block entry of the I-th block row of A.
                      Unchanged on exit.

      BPNTRE(input)   On entry, BPNTRE is an integer array of length MB such that
                      BPNTRE(I)-BPNTRB(1)points to location in BINDX of the
                      last block entry of the I-th block row of A.
                      Unchanged on exit.

      B (input)       Array of DIMENSION ( LDB, N ).
                      Before entry with  TRANSA = 0,  the leading  k by n
                      part of the array  B  must contain the matrix  B,  otherwise
                      the leading  m by n  part of the array  B  must contain  the
                      matrix B. Unchanged on exit.

      LDB (input)     On entry, LDB specifies the first dimension of B as declared
                      in the calling (sub) program. Unchanged on exit.

      BETA (input)    On entry, BETA specifies the scalar beta. Unchanged on exit.

      C(input/output) Array of DIMENSION ( LDC, N ).
                      Before entry with  TRANSA = 0,  the leading  m by n
                      part of the array  C  must contain the matrix C,  otherwise
                      the leading  k by n  part of the array  C must contain  the
                      matrix C. On exit, the array  C  is overwritten by the  matrix
                      ( alpha*op( A )* B  + beta*C ).

      LDC (input)     On entry, LDC specifies the first dimension of C as declared
                      in the calling (sub) program. Unchanged on exit.

      WORK(workspace)   Scratch array of length LWORK.
                      On exit, if LWORK= -1, WORK(1) returns the optimum  size
                      of LWORK.

      LWORK (input)   On entry, LWORK specifies the length of WORK array. LWORK
                      should be at least M = RPNTR(MB+1)-RPNTR(1).
                      For good performance, LWORK should generally be larger.
                      For optimum performance on multiple processors, LWORK
                      >=M*N_CPUS where N_CPUS is the maximum number of
                      processors available to the program.

                      If LWORK=0, the routine is to allocate workspace needed.

                      If LWORK = -1, then a workspace query is assumed; the
                      routine only calculates the optimum size of the WORK array,
                      returns this value as the first entry of the WORK array,
                      and no error message related to LWORK is issued by XERBLA.

      Libsunperf SPARSE BLAS is parallelized with the help of OPENMP and it is
      fully  compatible with NIST FORTRAN Sparse Blas but the sources are different.
      Libsunperf SPARSE BLAS is free of bugs found in NIST FORTRAN Sparse Blas.
      Besides several new features and routines are implemented.

      "Document for the Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms (BLAS)
       Standard", University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Tennessee, 1996:

NOTES/BUGS
     1. No test for singularity or near-singularity is included
     in this routine. Such tests must be performed before calling
     this routine.

     2. If DESCRA(3)=0 , the lower or upper triangular part of
     each diagonal block is used by the routine depending on
     DESCRA(2).

     3. If DESCRA(3)=1 , the diagonal blocks in the variable
     block row representationof A  don't need to be the identity
     matrices because these block entries are not used by the
     routine in this case.

     4. If DESCRA(3)=2 , diagonal blocks are considered as dense
     matrices and the LU factorization with partial pivoting is
     used by the routine. WORK(1)=0 on return if the
     factorization for all diagonal blocks has been completed
     successfully, otherwise WORK(1) = - i where i is the block
     number for which the LU factorization could not be computed.
     5. The routine is designed so that it checks the validity of
     each sparse block entry given in the sparse blas
     representation. Block entries with incorrect indices are not
     used and no error message related to the entries is issued.

     The feature also provides a possibility to use the sparse
     matrix representation of a general matrix A for solving
     triangular systems with the upper or lower block triangle of
     A.  But DESCRA(1) MUST be equal to 3 even in this case.

     Assume that there is the sparse matrix representation a
     general matrix A decomposed in the form

                          A = L + D + U

     where L is the strictly block lower triangle of A, U is the
     strictly block upper triangle of A, D is the block diagonal
     matrix. Let's I denotes  the identity matrix.

     Then the correspondence between the first three values of
     DESCRA and the result matrix for the sparse representation
     of A is

       DESCRA(1)  DESCRA(2)   DESCRA(3)     RESULT

          3          1           1      alpha*op(L+I)*B+beta*C

          3          1           0      alpha*op(L+D)*B+beta*C

          3          2           1      alpha*op(U+I)*B+beta*C

          3          2           0      alpha*op(U+D)*B+beta*C

     6. It is known that there exists another representation of
     the variable block sparse row format (see for example
     Y.Saad, "Iterative Methods for Sparse Linear Systems", WPS,
     1996). Its data structure consists of six array instead of
     the seven used in the current implementation.  The main
     difference is that only one array, IA, containing the
     pointers to the beginning of each block row in the array
     BINDX is used instead of two arrays BPNTRB and BPNTRE. To
     use the routine with this kind of variable block sparse row
     format the following calling sequence should be used

       SUBROUTINE CVBRSM( TRANSA, MB, N, UNITD, DV, ALPHA, DESCRA,
      *           VAL, INDX, BINDX, RPNTR, CPNTR, IA, IA(2),
      *           B, LDB, BETA, C, LDC, WORK, LWORK )
