The routine name determines the data type you should specify for arguments x and y. Specify the same data type for these arguments.

Rounding in BLAS1$VxDOTx occurs in a different order than in a sequential evaluation of the dot product. The final result may differ from the result of a sequential evaluation.

Example


C C To compute the dot product of two vectors, x and y, C and return the result in DOTPR: C INTEGER INCX,INCY REAL X(20),Y(20),DOTPR INCX = 1 INCY = 1 N = 20 DOTPR = BLAS1$VSDOT(N,X,INCX,Y,INCY)

BLAS1$VxNRM2

OpenVMS usage: floating_point

type: F_floating, D_floating, or G_floating real

access: write only

mechanism: by value

The function value, called e_norm, is the Euclidean norm of the vector x . The data type of the function value is a real number; for the BLAS1$VSCNRM2, BLAS1$VDZNRM2, and BLAS1$VGWNRM2 routines, the data type of the function value is the real data type corresponding to the complex argument data type.

Arguments

n

OpenVMS usage: longword_signed

type: longword integer (signed)

access: read only

mechanism: by reference

Number of elements in vector x to be processed. The n argument is the address of a signed longword integer containing the number of elements.
x

OpenVMS usage: floating_point or complex_number

type: F_floating, D_floating, G_floating real or F_floating, D_floating, G_floating complex

access: read only

mechanism: by reference, array reference

Array containing the elements to be accessed. All elements of array x are accessed only if the increment argument of x, called incx, is 1. The x argument is the address of a floating-point or floating-point complex number that is this array. This argument is an array of length at least:
1+(n-1)*|incx|
where:

n = number of vector elements specified in n

incx = increment argument for the array x specified in incx

Specify the data type as follows:

Routine Data Type for x

BLAS1$VSNRM2 F-floating real

BLAS1$VDNRM2 D-floating real

BLAS1$VGNRM2 G-floating real

BLAS1$VSCNRM2 F-floating complex

BLAS1$VDZNRM2 D-floating complex

BLAS1$VGWNRM2 G-floating complex

If n is less than or equal to 0, then e_norm is 0.0.
incx

OpenVMS usage: longword_signed

type: longword integer (signed)

access: read only

mechanism: by reference

Increment argument for the array x. The incx argument is the address of a signed longword integer containing the increment argument. If incx is greater than or equal to 0, then x is referenced forward in array x; that is, x[i] is referenced in:
x(1+(i-1)*incx)
where:

x = array specified in x

i = element of the vector x

incx = increment argument for the array x specified in incx

If you specify a negative value for incx, it is interpreted as the absolute value of incx.

Description

BLAS1$VxNRM2 obtains the Euclidean norm of an n-element vector x , expressed as follows:
___________________________________ / x[1]**2 + x[2]**2 + ... + x[n]**2 \/
Vector x contains n elements that are accessed from array x by stepping incx elements at a time. The vector x is a real or complex single-precision or double-precision (D and G) n-element vector. The vector can be a row or a column of a matrix. Both forward and backward indexing are permitted.
The public-domain BLAS Level 1 xNRM2 routines require a positive value for incx. The Run-Time Library BLAS Level 1 routines interpret a negative value for incx as the absolute value of incx.
The algorithm does not provide a special case for incx = 0. Therefore, specifying 0 for incx has the effect of using vector operations to set e_norm as follows:
e_norm = n^0.5*|x[1]|
For BLAS1$VDNRM2, BLAS1$VGNRM2, BLAS1$VDZNRM2, and BLAS1$VGWNRM2 (the double-precision routines), the elements of the vector x are scaled to avoid intermediate overflow or underflow. BLAS1$VSNRM2 and BLAS1$VSCNRM2 (the single-precision routines) use a backup data type to avoid intermediate overflow or underflow.
Rounding in BLAS1$VxNRM2 occurs in a different order than in a sequential evaluation of the Euclidean norm. The final result may differ from the result of a sequential evaluation.

Example

Description

BLAS1$VSROT, BLAS1$VDROT, and BLAS1$VGROT apply a real Givens plane rotation to a pair of real vectors. BLAS1$VCSROT, BLAS1$VZDROT, and BLAS1$VWGROT apply a real Givens plane rotation to a pair of complex vectors. The vectors x and y are real or complex single-precision or double-precision (D and G) vectors. The vectors can be rows or columns of a matrix. Both forward and backward indexing are permitted. The routine name determines the data type you should specify for arguments x and y. Specify the same data type for each of these arguments.
The Givens plane rotation is applied to n elements, where the elements to be rotated are contained in vectors x and y (i equals 1,2,...,n). These elements are accessed from arrays x and y by stepping incx and incy elements at a time. The cosine and sine of the angle of rotation are c and s, respectively. The arguments c and s are usually generated by the BLAS Level 1 routine BLAS1$VxROTG, using a=x and b=y :

The BLAS1$VxROT routines can be used to introduce zeros selectively into a matrix.

Example


C C To rotate the first two rows of a matrix and zero C out the element in the first column of the second row: C INTEGER INCX,N REAL X(20,20),A,B,C,S INCX = 20 N = 20 A = X(1,1) B = X(2,1) CALL BLAS1$VSROTG(A,B,C,S) CALL BLAS1$VSROT(N,X,INCX,X(2,1),INCX,C,S)
