Function/Subroutine Documentation

subroutine slamc1 (integerBETA, integerT, logicalRND, logicalIEEE1)

SLAMC1 Purpose:

 SLAMC1 determines the machine parameters given by BETA, T, RND, and
 IEEE1.

Parameters:

BETA

          The base of the machine.

T

          The number of ( BETA ) digits in the mantissa.

RND

          Specifies whether proper rounding  ( RND = .TRUE. )  or
          chopping  ( RND = .FALSE. )  occurs in addition. This may not
          be a reliable guide to the way in which the machine performs
          its arithmetic.

IEEE1

          Specifies whether rounding appears to be done in the IEEE
          'round to nearest' style.

Further Details

  The routine is based on the routine  ENVRON  by Malcolm and
  incorporates suggestions by Gentleman and Marovich. See

        floating-point arithmetic. Comms. of the ACM, 15, 949-951.

subroutine slamc2 (integerBETA, integerT, logicalRND, realEPS, integerEMIN, realRMIN, integerEMAX, realRMAX)

SLAMC2 Purpose:

 SLAMC2 determines the machine parameters specified in its argument
 list.

Author:

LAPACK is a software package provided by Univ. of Tennessee, Univ. of California Berkeley, Univ. of Colorado Denver and NAG Ltd..

Date:

April 2012

Parameters:

BETA

          The base of the machine.

T

          The number of ( BETA ) digits in the mantissa.

RND

          Specifies whether proper rounding  ( RND = .TRUE. )  or
          chopping  ( RND = .FALSE. )  occurs in addition. This may not
          be a reliable guide to the way in which the machine performs
          its arithmetic.

EPS

          The smallest positive number such that
             fl( 1.0 - EPS ) .LT. 1.0,
          where fl denotes the computed value.

EMIN

          The minimum exponent before (gradual) underflow occurs.

RMIN

          The smallest normalized number for the machine, given by
          BASE**( EMIN - 1 ), where  BASE  is the floating point value
          of BETA.

EMAX

          The maximum exponent before overflow occurs.

RMAX

          The largest positive number for the machine, given by
          BASE**EMAX * ( 1 - EPS ), where  BASE  is the floating point
          value of BETA.

Further Details

  The computation of  EPS  is based on a routine PARANOIA by
  W. Kahan of the University of California at Berkeley.

REAL function slamc3 (realA, realB)

SLAMC3 Purpose:

 SLAMC3  is intended to force  A  and  B  to be stored prior to doing
 the addition of  A  and  B ,  for use in situations where optimizers
 might hold one of these in a register.

Parameters:

A
B

          The values A and B.

subroutine slamc4 (integerEMIN, realSTART, integerBASE)

SLAMC4 Purpose:

 SLAMC4 is a service routine for SLAMC2.

Parameters:

EMIN

          The minimum exponent before (gradual) underflow, computed by
          setting A = START and dividing by BASE until the previous A
          can not be recovered.

START

          The starting point for determining EMIN.

BASE

          The base of the machine.

subroutine slamc5 (integerBETA, integerP, integerEMIN, logicalIEEE, integerEMAX, realRMAX)

SLAMC5 Purpose:

 SLAMC5 attempts to compute RMAX, the largest machine floating-point
 number, without overflow.  It assumes that EMAX + abs(EMIN) sum
 approximately to a power of 2.  It will fail on machines where this
 assumption does not hold, for example, the Cyber 205 (EMIN = -28625,
 EMAX = 28718).  It will also fail if the value supplied for EMIN is
 too large (i.e. too close to zero), probably with overflow.

Parameters:

BETA

          The base of floating-point arithmetic.

P

          The number of base BETA digits in the mantissa of a
          floating-point value.

EMIN

          The minimum exponent before (gradual) underflow.

IEEE

          A logical flag specifying whether or not the arithmetic
          system is thought to comply with the IEEE standard.

EMAX

          The largest exponent before overflow

RMAX

          The largest machine floating-point number.

REAL function slamch (characterCMACH)

SLAMCHF77 deprecated Purpose:

 SLAMCH determines single precision machine parameters.

 

Parameters:

CMACH

          Specifies the value to be returned by SLAMCH:
          = 'E' or 'e',   SLAMCH := eps
          = 'S' or 's ,   SLAMCH := sfmin
          = 'B' or 'b',   SLAMCH := base
          = 'P' or 'p',   SLAMCH := eps*base
          = 'N' or 'n',   SLAMCH := t
          = 'R' or 'r',   SLAMCH := rnd
          = 'M' or 'm',   SLAMCH := emin
          = 'U' or 'u',   SLAMCH := rmin
          = 'L' or 'l',   SLAMCH := emax
          = 'O' or 'o',   SLAMCH := rmax
          where
          eps   = relative machine precision
          sfmin = safe minimum, such that 1/sfmin does not overflow
          base  = base of the machine
          prec  = eps*base
          t     = number of (base) digits in the mantissa
          rnd   = 1.0 when rounding occurs in addition, 0.0 otherwise
          emin  = minimum exponent before (gradual) underflow
          rmin  = underflow threshold - base**(emin-1)
          emax  = largest exponent before overflow
          rmax  = overflow threshold  - (base**emax)*(1-eps)
