Description
 The
p?gemr2d
function
copies the indicated matrix or submatrix of
A
 to the indicated matrix or submatrix of
B
. It provides a truly general copy from any block cyclicly-distributed matrix or submatrix to any other block cyclicly-distributed matrix or submatrix. With
p?trmr2d
, these
functions
are the only ones in the ScaLAPACK library which provide inter-context operations: they can take a matrix or submatrix
A
 in context
A
 (distributed over process grid
A
) and copy it to a matrix or submatrix
B
 in context
B
 (distributed over process grid
B
).
There does not need to be a relationship between the two operand matrices or submatrices other than their global size and the fact that they are both legal block cyclicly-distributed matrices or submatrices. This means that they can, for example, be distributed across different process grids, have varying block sizes and differing matrix starting points, or be contained in different sized distributed matrices.
Take care when context
A
 is disjoint from context
B
. The general rules for which parameters need to be set are:
  • All calling processes must have the correct
    m
     and
    n
    .
  • Processes in context
    A
     must correctly define all parameters describing
    A
    .
  • Processes in context
    B
     must correctly define all parameters describing
    B
    .
  • Processes which are not members of context
    A
     must pass
    ctxt_a
     = -1 and need not set other parameters describing
    A
    .
  • Processes which are not members of context
    B
     must pass
    ctxt_b
     = -1 and need not set other parameters describing
    B
    .
Because of its generality,
p?gemr2d
 can be used for many operations not usually associated with copy
functions
. For instance, it can be used to a take a matrix on one process and distribute it across a process grid, or the reverse. If a supercomputer is grouped into a virtual parallel machine with a workstation, for instance, this
function
can be used to move the matrix from the workstation to the supercomputer and back. In ScaLAPACK, it is called to copy matrices from a two-dimensional process grid to a one-dimensional process grid. It can be used to redistribute matrices so that distributions providing maximal performance can be used by various component libraries, as well.
Note that this
function
requires an array descriptor with
dtype_
 = 1.
Optimization Notice
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. Please refer to the applicable product User and Reference Guides for more information regarding the specific instruction sets covered by this notice.

A
.
ia
,
ja
(global) The row and column indices in the array
A

desca
(global and local) array of size
dlen_
. The array descriptor for the distributed matrix
A
.
Only
dtype_a

dlen_
 = 9.
If the calling process is not part of the context of
A
,
ctxt_a
 must be equal to -1.
ib

 must be equal to -1.
ictxt
(global).
The context encompassing at least the union of all processes in context
A
