Description
The routine forms the QR factorization of a set of general, m x n matrices A, stored in Compact format. The routine does not form the Q factors explicitly. Instead, Q is represented as a product of min(m,n) elementary reflectors. The factorization (output) data will also be stored in Compact format.
Compact routines have some limitations; see Numerical Limitations.
Input Parameters
layout
Specifies whether two-dimensional array storage is row-major (
MKL_ROW_MAJOR
) or column-major (
MKL_COL_MAJOR
).
m
The number of rows of A
c
; m≥ 0.
n
The number of columns of A
c
; n≥ 0.
ap
Points to the beginning of the
nm
 A
c
 matrices. On entry,
ap
 contains either the upper or the lower triangular part of A
c
 (see uplo).
ldap
Column stride (column-major layout) or row stride (row-major layout) of A
c
.
work
Points to the beginning of the workspace array.
lwork
The size of the work array. If lwork = -1, a workspace query is assumed; the routine only calculates the optimal size of the work array and returns this value as the first entry of the work array.
format
Specifies the format of the compact matrices. See Compact Format or mkl_get_format_compact for details.
nm
Total number of matrices stored in Compact format.
Application Notes:
The compact array that will store the elementary reflectors needs to be allocated before the routine is called and unpacked after. First, the routine mkl_?get_size_compact should be called, to determine the size of
taup
, and memory for
taup
 should be allocated. After calling
mkl_?geqrf_compact
,
taup
 stores the elementary reflectors in compact form, so should be unpacked using
mkl_?geunpack_compact
. See Compact Format for more details, or reference the example below. (Note: the following example is meant to demonstrate the calling sequence to allocate memory and unpack
taup
. All other parameters are assumed to be already set up before the sequence below is executed.)
MKL_R_TYPE *tau_array[nm];
// ...
tau_buffer_size = mkl_?get_size_compact(min(m, n), 1, format, nm);
MKL_R_TYPE *tau_compact = (MKL_R_TYPE *)mkl_malloc(tau_buffer_size, 128);
mkl_?geqrf_compact(layout, m, n, a_compact, ldap, tau_compact, work, lwork, &info, format, nm);
// Note that here MKL_COL_MAJOR is used because tau is a 1-d array
mkl_?geunpack_compact(MKL_COL_MAJOR, min(m, n), 1, tau_array, min(m, n), tau_compact, min(m, n), format, nm);
Output Parameters
ap
On exit, A
c
 is overwritten by its factorization data.
ap
 points to the beginning of nm factorizations of A
c
 , stored in Compact format. The factorization data is stored as follows: The elements on and above the diagonal contain the min( m , n )-by- n upper trapezoidal matrix R
c
 ( R
c
 is upper triangular if m ≥ n ); the elements below the diagonal, with tau , present the orthogonal matrix Q
c
 as a product of min( m , n ) elementary reflectors (see Orthogonal Factorizations: LAPACK Computational Routines). See Compact Format for more details.
taup
Points to the beginning of a set of the tau
c
 arrays, each of which has size min(m,n), stored in Compact format. tau
c
 contains scalars that define elementary reflectors for Q
c
 in its decomposition in a product of elementary reflectors.
taup
 needs to be allocated by the user before calling this routine. See the application notes (below the description) for more details.
work[0]
On exit
contains the minimum value of lwork required for optimum performance. Use this
lwork
 for subsequent runs.
info
The parameter is not currently used in this routine. It is reserved for the future use.

Intel's compilers may or may not optimize to the same degree for non-Intel microprocessors for optimizations that are not unique to Intel microprocessors. These optimizations include SSE2, SSE3, and SSSE3 instruction sets and other optimizations. Intel does not guarantee the availability, functionality, or effectiveness of any optimization on microprocessors not manufactured by Intel. Microprocessor-dependent optimizations in this product are intended for use with Intel microprocessors. Certain optimizations not specific to Intel microarchitecture are reserved for Intel microprocessors.
