SGEMV(1) BLAS routine SGEMV(1)

NAME

SGEMV - performs one of the matrix-vector operations y := alpha*A*x + beta*y, or y := alpha*A'*x + beta*y,

SYNOPSIS

REAL ALPHA,BETA INTEGER INCX,INCY,LDA,M,N CHARACTER TRANS REAL A(LDA,*),X(*),Y(*)

PURPOSE

SGEMV performs one of the matrix-vector operations

where alpha and beta are scalars, x and y are vectors and A is an m by n matrix.

ARGUMENTS

On entry, TRANS specifies the operation to be performed as follows:

TRANS = 'N' or 'n' y := alpha*A*x + beta*y.

TRANS = 'T' or 't' y := alpha*A'*x + beta*y.

TRANS = 'C' or 'c' y := alpha*A'*x + beta*y.

Unchanged on exit.

On entry, M specifies the number of rows of the matrix A. M must be at least zero. Unchanged on exit.
On entry, N specifies the number of columns of the matrix A. N must be at least zero. Unchanged on exit.
On entry, ALPHA specifies the scalar alpha. Unchanged on exit.
Before entry, the leading m by n part of the array A must contain the matrix of coefficients. Unchanged on exit.
On entry, LDA specifies the first dimension of A as declared in the calling (sub) program. LDA must be at least max( 1, m ). Unchanged on exit.
( 1 + ( n - 1 )*abs( INCX ) ) when TRANS = 'N' or 'n' and at least ( 1 + ( m - 1 )*abs( INCX ) ) otherwise. Before entry, the incremented array X must contain the vector x. Unchanged on exit.
On entry, INCX specifies the increment for the elements of X. INCX must not be zero. Unchanged on exit.
On entry, BETA specifies the scalar beta. When BETA is supplied as zero then Y need not be set on input. Unchanged on exit.
( 1 + ( m - 1 )*abs( INCY ) ) when TRANS = 'N' or 'n' and at least ( 1 + ( n - 1 )*abs( INCY ) ) otherwise. Before entry with BETA non-zero, the incremented array Y must contain the vector y. On exit, Y is overwritten by the updated vector y.
On entry, INCY specifies the increment for the elements of Y. INCY must not be zero. Unchanged on exit.
