DESCRIPTION
CHEMM performs one of the matrix-matrix operations C := alpha*A*B + beta*C, or C := alpha*B*A + beta*C, where alpha and beta are scalars, A is an hermitian matrix and B and C are m by n matrices. Parameters ========== SIDE - CHARACTER*1. On entry, SIDE specifies whether the hermitian matrix A appears on the left or right in the operation as follows: SIDE = 'L' or 'l' C := alpha*A*B + beta*C, SIDE = 'R' or 'r' C := alpha*B*A + beta*C, Unchanged on exit. UPLO - CHARACTER*1. On entry, UPLO specifies whether the upper or lower triangular part of the hermitian matrix A is to be referenced as follows: UPLO = 'U' or 'u' Only the upper triangular part of the hermitian matrix is to be referenced. UPLO = 'L' or 'l' Only the lower triangular part of the hermitian matrix is to be referenced. Unchanged on exit. M - INTEGER. On entry, M specifies the number of rows of the matrix C. M must be at least zero. Unchanged on exit. N - INTEGER. On entry, N specifies the number of columns of the matrix C. N must be at least zero. Unchanged on exit. ALPHA - COMPLEX . On entry, ALPHA specifies the scalar alpha. Unchanged on exit. A - COMPLEX array of DIMENSION ( LDA, ka ), where ka is m when SIDE = 'L' or 'l' and is n otherwise. Before entry with SIDE = 'L' or 'l', the m by m part of the array A must contain the hermitian matrix, such that when UPLO = 'U' or 'u', the leading m by m upper triangular part of the array A must contain the upper triangular part of the hermitian matrix and the strictly lower triangular part of A is not referenced, and when UPLO = 'L' or 'l', the leading m by m lower triangular part of the array A must contain the lower triangular part of the hermitian matrix and the strictly upper triangular part of A is not referenced. Before entry with SIDE = 'R' or 'r', the n by n part of the array A must contain the hermitian matrix, such that when UPLO = 'U' or 'u', the leading n by n upper triangular part of the array A must contain the upper triangular part of the hermitian matrix and the strictly lower triangular part of A is not referenced, and when UPLO = 'L' or 'l', the leading n by n lower triangular part of the array A must contain the lower triangular part of the hermitian matrix and the strictly upper triangular part of A is not referenced. Note that the imaginary parts of the diagonal elements need not be set, they are assumed to be zero. Unchanged on exit. LDA - INTEGER. On entry, LDA specifies the first dimension of A as declared in the calling (sub) program. When SIDE = 'L' or 'l' then LDA must be at least max( 1, m ), otherwise LDA must be at least max( 1, n ). Unchanged on exit. B - COMPLEX array of DIMENSION ( LDB, n ). Before entry, the leading m by n part of the array B must contain the matrix B. Unchanged on exit. LDB - INTEGER. On entry, LDB specifies the first dimension of B as declared in the calling (sub) program. LDB must be at least max( 1, m ). Unchanged on exit. BETA - COMPLEX . On entry, BETA specifies the scalar beta. When BETA is supplied as zero then C need not be set on input. Unchanged on exit. C - COMPLEX array of DIMENSION ( LDC, n ). Before entry, the leading m by n part of the array C must contain the matrix C, except when beta is zero, in which case C need not be set on entry. On exit, the array C is overwritten by the m by n updated matrix. LDC - INTEGER. On entry, LDC specifies the first dimension of C as declared in the calling (sub) program. LDC must be at least max( 1, m ). Unchanged on exit.
