SSYTRF computes the factorization of a real symmetric matrix A using


 the Bunch-Kaufman diagonal pivoting method.  The form of the


 factorization is


    A = U*D*U**T  or  A = L*D*L**T


 where U (or L) is a product of permutation and unit upper (lower)


 triangular matrices, and D is symmetric and block diagonal with 


 1-by-1 and 2-by-2 diagonal blocks.


 This is the blocked version of the algorithm, calling Level 3 BLAS.

UPLO

          UPLO is CHARACTER*1


          = 'U':  Upper triangle of A is stored;


          = 'L':  Lower triangle of A is stored.

N

          N is INTEGER


          The order of the matrix A.  N >= 0.

A

          A is REAL array, dimension (LDA,N)


          On entry, the symmetric matrix A.  If UPLO = 'U', the leading


          N-by-N upper triangular part of A contains the upper


          triangular part of the matrix A, and the strictly lower


          triangular part of A is not referenced.  If UPLO = 'L', the


          leading N-by-N lower triangular part of A contains the lower


          triangular part of the matrix A, and the strictly upper


          triangular part of A is not referenced.


          On exit, the block diagonal matrix D and the multipliers used


          to obtain the factor U or L (see below for further details).

LDA

          LDA is INTEGER


          The leading dimension of the array A.  LDA >= max(1,N).

IPIV

          IPIV is INTEGER array, dimension (N)


          Details of the interchanges and the block structure of D.


          If IPIV(k) > 0, then rows and columns k and IPIV(k) were


          interchanged and D(k,k) is a 1-by-1 diagonal block.


          If UPLO = 'U' and IPIV(k) = IPIV(k-1) < 0, then rows and


          columns k-1 and -IPIV(k) were interchanged and D(k-1:k,k-1:k)


          is a 2-by-2 diagonal block.  If UPLO = 'L' and IPIV(k) =


          IPIV(k+1) < 0, then rows and columns k+1 and -IPIV(k) were


          interchanged and D(k:k+1,k:k+1) is a 2-by-2 diagonal block.

WORK

          WORK is REAL array, dimension (MAX(1,LWORK))


          On exit, if INFO = 0, WORK(1) returns the optimal LWORK.

LWORK

          LWORK is INTEGER


          The length of WORK.  LWORK >=1.  For best performance


          LWORK >= N*NB, where NB is the block size returned by ILAENV.


          If LWORK = -1, then a workspace query is assumed; the routine


          only calculates the optimal 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.

INFO

          INFO is INTEGER


          = 0:  successful exit


          < 0:  if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value


          > 0:  if INFO = i, D(i,i) is exactly zero.  The factorization


                has been completed, but the block diagonal matrix D is


                exactly singular, and division by zero will occur if it


                is used to solve a system of equations.

  If s = 2, the lower triangle of D(k) overwrites A(k,k), A(k+1,k),


  and A(k+1,k+1), and v overwrites A(k+2:n,k:k+1).
