SSPR or DSPR Subroutine

Performs the symmetric rank 1 operation.

BLAS Library (libblas.a)

SUBROUTINE SSPR(UPLO, N, ALPHA, X, INCX, AP) REAL ALPHA INTEGER INCX, N CHARACTER*1 UPLO REAL AP(*), X(*)

SUBROUTINE DSPR(UPLO, N, ALPHA,
X, INCX, AP)
DOUBLE PRECISION ALPHA
INTEGER INCX,N
CHARACTER*1 UPLO
DOUBLE PRECISION AP(*), X(*)

The SSPR or DSPR subroutine performs the symmetric rank 1 operation:

A := alpha * x * x' + A

where alpha is a real scalar, x is an N element vector and A is an N by N symmetric matrix, supplied in packed form.

UPLO	On entry, UPLO specifies whether the upper or lower triangular part of the matrix A is supplied in the packed array AP as follows: UPLO = 'U' or 'u' The upper triangular part of A is supplied in AP. UPLO = 'L' or 'l' The lower triangular part of A is supplied in AP. Unchanged on exit.
N	On entry, N specifies the order of the matrix A; N must be at least 0; unchanged on exit.
ALPHA	On entry, ALPHA specifies the scalar alpha; unchanged on exit.
X	A vector of dimension at least (1 + (N-1) * abs(INCX) ); on entry, the incremented array X must contain the N element vector x; unchanged on exit.
INCX	On entry, INCX specifies the increment for the elements of X; INCX must not be 0; unchanged on exit.
AP	A vector of dimension at least ( ( N * (N+1) )/2 ); on entry with UPLO = 'U' or 'u', the array AP must contain the upper triangular part of the symmetric matrix packed sequentially, column by column, so that AP(1) contains A(1,1), AP(2) and AP(3) contain A(1,2) and A(2,2) respectively, and so on. On exit, the array AP is overwritten by the upper triangular part of the updated matrix. On entry with UPLO = 'L' or 'l', the array AP must contain the lower triangular part of the symmetric matrix packed sequentially, column by column, so that AP(1) contains A(1,1), AP(2) and AP(3) contain A(2,1) and A(3,1) respectively, and so on. On exit, the array AP is overwritten by the lower triangular part of the updated matrix.
