SUBROUTINE DLABAD( SMALL, LARGE ) * * -- LAPACK auxiliary routine (version 3.1) -- * Univ. of Tennessee, Univ. of California Berkeley and NAG Ltd.. * November 2006 * * .. Scalar Arguments .. DOUBLE PRECISION LARGE, SMALL * .. * * Purpose * ======= * * DLABAD takes as input the values computed by DLAMCH for underflow and * overflow, and returns the square root of each of these values if the * log of LARGE is sufficiently large. This subroutine is intended to * identify machines with a large exponent range, such as the Crays, and * redefine the underflow and overflow limits to be the square roots of * the values computed by DLAMCH. This subroutine is needed because * DLAMCH does not compensate for poor arithmetic in the upper half of * the exponent range, as is found on a Cray. * * Arguments * ========= * * SMALL (input/output) DOUBLE PRECISION * On entry, the underflow threshold as computed by DLAMCH. * On exit, if LOG10(LARGE) is sufficiently large, the square * root of SMALL, otherwise unchanged. * * LARGE (input/output) DOUBLE PRECISION * On entry, the overflow threshold as computed by DLAMCH. * On exit, if LOG10(LARGE) is sufficiently large, the square * root of LARGE, otherwise unchanged. * * ===================================================================== * * .. Intrinsic Functions .. INTRINSIC LOG10, SQRT * .. * .. Executable Statements .. * * If it looks like we're on a Cray, take the square root of * SMALL and LARGE to avoid overflow and underflow problems. * IF( LOG10( LARGE ).GT.2000.D0 ) THEN SMALL = SQRT( SMALL ) LARGE = SQRT( LARGE ) END IF * RETURN * * End of DLABAD * END
