XLAENV sets certain machine- and problem-dependent quantities


 which will later be retrieved by ILAENV.

ISPEC

          ISPEC is INTEGER


          Specifies the parameter to be set in the COMMON array IPARMS.


          = 1: the optimal blocksize; if this value is 1, an unblocked


               algorithm will give the best performance.


          = 2: the minimum block size for which the block routine


               should be used; if the usable block size is less than


               this value, an unblocked routine should be used.


          = 3: the crossover point (in a block routine, for N less


               than this value, an unblocked routine should be used)


          = 4: the number of shifts, used in the nonsymmetric


               eigenvalue routines


          = 5: the minimum column dimension for blocking to be used;


               rectangular blocks must have dimension at least k by m,


               where k is given by ILAENV(2,...) and m by ILAENV(5,...)


          = 6: the crossover point for the SVD (when reducing an m by n


               matrix to bidiagonal form, if max(m,n)/min(m,n) exceeds


               this value, a QR factorization is used first to reduce


               the matrix to a triangular form)


          = 7: the number of processors


          = 8: another crossover point, for the multishift QR and QZ


               methods for nonsymmetric eigenvalue problems.


          = 9: maximum size of the subproblems at the bottom of the


               computation tree in the divide-and-conquer algorithm


               (used by xGELSD and xGESDD)


          =10: ieee NaN arithmetic can be trusted not to trap


          =11: infinity arithmetic can be trusted not to trap

NVALUE

          NVALUE is INTEGER


          The value of the parameter specified by ISPEC.
