DESCRIPTION

        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 scalar, C and B are m by n dense matrices,
      D is a block  diagonal matrix,  A is a unit, or non-unit, upper or
      lower triangular matrix represented in block sparse row format
      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)

ARGUMENTS

      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.

      N             Number of columns in matrix C

      UNITD         Type of scaling:

                      2 : Scale on left (row block scaling)
                      3 : Scale on right (column block scaling)

      DV()          Array of the length MB*LB*LB consisting of the block
                    entries of block diagonal matrix D where each
                    block is stored in standard column-major form.

                      1 : symmetric (A=A')
                      2 : Hermitian (A= CONJG(A'))
                      3 : Triangular
                      4 : Skew(Anti)-Symmetric (A=-A')
                      5 : Diagonal
                      6 : Skew-Hermitian (A= -CONJG(A'))

                    Note: For the routine, DESCRA(1)=3 is only supported.

                      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()         scalar array of length LB*LB*BNNZ consisting of the block
                    entries stored column-major within each dense block.

      BINDX()       integer array of length BNNZ consisting of the
                    block column indices of the block entries of A.
                    The block column indices MUST be sorted
                    in increasing order for each block row.

      BPNTRB()      integer array of length MB such that
                    BPNTRB(J)-BPNTRB(1)+1 points to location in BINDX
                    of the first block entry of the J-th block row of A.

      BPNTRE()      integer array of length MB such that
                    BPNTRE(J)-BPNTRB(1) points to location in BINDX
                    of the last block entry of the J-th block row of A.

      LB            dimension of dense blocks composing A.

      B()           rectangular array with first dimension LDB.

      LDB           leading dimension of B

      BETA          Scalar parameter

      C()           rectangular array with first dimension LDC.

      LDC           leading dimension of C

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

      LWORK         length of WORK array. LWORK should be at least
                    MB*LB.

                    For good performance, LWORK should generally be larger.
                    For optimum performance on multiple processors, LWORK
                    >=MB*LB*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.

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 unit diagonal blocks might or might
     not be referenced in the BSR representation of a sparse
     matrix. They are not used anyway.

     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 can be applied for solving triangular systems
     when the upper or lower triangle of the general sparse
     matrix A is used. Howerver DESCRA(1) must be equal to 3 in
     this case.

     2. It is known that there exists another representation of
     the block sparse row format (see for example Y.Saad,
     "Iterative Methods for Sparse Linear Systems", WPS, 1996).
     Its data structure consists of three array instead of the
     four 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 arrays
     VAL and BINDX is used instead of two arrays BPNTRB and
     BPNTRE. To use the routine with this kind of block sparse
     row format the following calling sequence should be used

       CALL SBSRSM( TRANSA, MB, N, UNITD, DV, ALPHA, DESCRA,
      *           VAL, BINDX, IA, IA(2), LB,
      *           B, LDB, BETA, C, LDC, WORK, LWORK )
