# sgetrf(3)

Part of [sgetrf.f(3)](/sgetrf.f/3.md).

## NAME

SRC/sgetrf.f

## SYNOPSIS

### Functions/Subroutines

subroutine **sgetrf** (m, n, a, lda, ipiv, info)\
 **SGETRF**

## Function/Subroutine Documentation

### subroutine sgetrf (integer m, integer n, real, dimension( lda, \* ) a, integer lda, integer, dimension( \* ) ipiv, integer info)

**SGETRF**

**Purpose:**

```
!>
!> SGETRF computes an LU factorization of a general M-by-N matrix A
!> using partial pivoting with row interchanges.
!>
!> The factorization has the form
!>    A = P * L * U
!> where P is a permutation matrix, L is lower triangular with unit
!> diagonal elements (lower trapezoidal if m > n), and U is upper
!> triangular (upper trapezoidal if m < n).
!>
!> This is the right-looking Level 3 BLAS version of the algorithm.
!>
```

**Parameters**

*M*

```
!>          M is INTEGER
!>          The number of rows of the matrix A.  M >= 0.
!>
```

*N*

```
!>          N is INTEGER
!>          The number of columns of the matrix A.  N >= 0.
!>
```

*A*

```
!>          A is REAL array, dimension (LDA,N)
!>          On entry, the M-by-N matrix to be factored.
!>          On exit, the factors L and U from the factorization
!>          A = P*L*U; the unit diagonal elements of L are not stored.
!>
```

*LDA*

```
!>          LDA is INTEGER
!>          The leading dimension of the array A.  LDA >= max(1,M).
!>
```

*IPIV*

```
!>          IPIV is INTEGER array, dimension (min(M,N))
!>          The pivot indices; for 1 <= i <= min(M,N), row i of the
!>          matrix was interchanged with row IPIV(i).
!>
```

*INFO*

```
!>          INFO is INTEGER
!>          = 0:  successful exit
!>          < 0:  if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
!>          > 0:  if INFO = i, U(i,i) is exactly zero. The factorization
!>                has been completed, but the factor U is exactly
!>                singular, and division by zero will occur if it is used
!>                to solve a system of equations.
!>
