IMPLEMENTATION
These routines are part of the SCSL Scientific Library and can be loaded
using either the -lscs or the -lscs_mp option. The -lscs_mp option
directs the linker to use the multi-processor version of the library.
When linking to SCSL with -lscs or -lscs_mp, the default integer size is
4 bytes (32 bits). Another version of SCSL is available in which integers
are 8 bytes (64 bits). This version allows the user access to larger
memory sizes and helps when porting legacy Cray codes. It can be loaded
by using the -lscs_i8 option or the -lscs_i8_mp option. A program may use
only one of the two versions; 4-byte integer and 8-byte integer library
calls cannot be mixed.
The C and C++ prototypes shown above are appropriate for the 4-byte
integer version of SCSL. When using the 8-byte integer version, the
variables of type int become long long and the <scsl_blas_i8.h> header
file should be included.
DESCRIPTION
SSYMV and DSYMV multiplies a real vector by a real symmetric matrix.
CSYMV and ZSYMV multiplies a complex vector by a complex symmetric
matrix.
These routines perform the following matrix-vector operation:
y <- alpha Ax + beta y
where alpha and beta are scalars, x and y are n-element vectors, and A is
an n-by-n symmetric matrix.
See the NOTES section of this man page for information about the
interpretation of the data types described in the following arguments.
These routines have the following arguments:
uplo Character. (input)
Specifies whether the upper or lower triangular part of matrix
A is being supplied, as follows:
uplo= 'U' or 'u': only the upper triangular part of A is being
supplied.
uplo= 'L' or 'l': only the lower triangular part of A is being

supplied.
For C/C++, a pointer to this character is passed.
n Integer. (input)
Specifies the order of matrix A. n >= 0.
alpha Scalar alpha. (input)
SSYMV: Single precision.
DSYMV: Double precision.
CSYMV: Single precision complex.
ZSYMV: Double precision complex.
For C/C++, a pointer to this scalar is passed when alpha is
complex; otherwise, alpha is passed by value.
a Array of dimension (lda,n). (input)
SSYMV: Single precision array.
DSYMV: Double precision array.
CSYMV: Single precision complex array.
ZSYMV: Double precision complex array.
Before entry with uplo = 'U' or 'u', the leading n-by-n upper
triangular part of array a must contain the upper triangular
part of the symmetric matrix. The strictly lower triangular
part of a is not referenced.
Before entry with uplo = 'L' or 'l', the leading n-by-n lower
triangular part of array a must contain the lower triangular
part of the symmetric matrix. The strictly upper triangular
part of a is not referenced.
lda Integer. (input)
Specifies the first dimension of a as declared in the calling
program. lda >= MAX(1,n).
x Array of dimension 1+(n-1) * |incx|. (input)
SSYMV: Single precision array.
DSYMV: Double precision array.
CSYMV: Single precision complex array.
ZSYMV: Double precision complex array.
Contains the vector x.
incx Integer. (input)
Specifies the increment for the elements of x. incx must not
be 0.
beta Scalar beta. (input)
If beta is supplied as 0, y need not be set on input.
SSYMV: Single precision.
DSYMV: Double precision.
CSYMV: Single precision complex.

SSYMV(3S)SSYMV(3S)
ZSYMV: Double precision complex.
For C/C++, a pointer to this scalar is passed when beta is
complex; otherwise, beta is passed by value.
y Array of dimension 1+(n-1) * |incy|. (input and output)
SSYMV: Single precision array.
DSYMV: Double precision array.
CSYMV: Single precision complex array.
ZSYMV: Double precision complex array.
Contains the vector y. On exit, the updated vector overwrites
array y.
incy Integer. (input)
Specifies the increment for the elements of y. incy must not
be 0.
NOTES
SSYMV/DSYMV is a Level 2 Basic Linear Algebra Subprogram (Level 2 BLAS).
CSYMV/ZSYMV is an extension to Level 2 BLAS.
When working backward (incx < 0 or incy < 0), each routine starts at the
end of the vector and moves backward, as follows:
x(1-incx * (n-1)), x(1-incx * (n-2)) , ..., x(1)
y(1-incy * (n-1)), y(1-incy * (n-2)) , ..., y(1)

Array of dimensions (m,n) x[m*n]

Double precision double
Single precision complex scsl_complex

Array of dimensions (m,n) x[m*n]
Integer int (long long for -lscs_i8[_mp])
Single precision float
Double precision double
Single precision complex complex<float>
Double precision complex complex<double>
Note that you can explicitly declare multidimensional C/C++ arrays
provided that the array dimensions are swapped with respect to the
Fortran declaration (e.g., x[n][m] in C/C++ versus x(m,n) in Fortran).
To avoid a compiler type mismatch error in C++ (or a compiler warning
message in C), however, the array should be cast to a pointer of the
appropriate type when passed as an argument to a SCSL routine.
