* Purpose


*
* DESCSET initializes a descriptor vector with the 8 input arguments * M, N, MB, NB, IRSRC, ICSRC, ICTXT, LLD. *
* Notes
*
* Each global data object is described by an associated description * vector. This vector stores the information required to establish * the mapping between an object element and its corresponding process * and memory location.
*
* Let A be a generic term for any 2D block cyclicly distributed array. * Such a global array has an associated description vector DESCA. * In the following comments, the character _ should be read as * "of the global array".
*
* NOTATION STORED IN EXPLANATION
* DTYPE_A(global) DESCA( DTYPE_ )The descriptor type. In this case, * DTYPE_A = 1. * CTXT_A (global) DESCA( CTXT_ ) The BLACS context handle, indicating
*                                 the BLACS process grid A is distribu-
*                                 ted over. The context itself is glo-
*                                 bal, but the handle (the integer
*                                 value) may vary.
*  M_A    (global) DESCA( M_ )    The number of rows in the global
*                                 array A.
*  N_A    (global) DESCA( N_ )    The number of columns in the global
*                                 array A.
*  MB_A   (global) DESCA( MB_ )   The blocking factor used to distribute
*                                 the rows of the array.
*  NB_A   (global) DESCA( NB_ )   The blocking factor used to distribute
*                                 the columns of the array.
*  RSRC_A (global) DESCA( RSRC_ ) The process row over which the first
*                                 row of the array A is distributed.
*  CSRC_A (global) DESCA( CSRC_ ) The process column over which the
*                                 first column of the array A is
*                                 distributed.
*  LLD_A  (local)  DESCA( LLD_ )  The leading dimension of the local
*                                 array.  LLD_A >= MAX(1,LOCr(M_A)).

*
* Let K be the number of rows or columns of a distributed matrix, * and assume that its process grid has dimension p x q. * LOCr( K ) denotes the number of elements of K that a process * would receive if K were distributed over the p processes of its * process column.
* Similarly, LOCc( K ) denotes the number of elements of K that a * process would receive if K were distributed over the q processes of * its process row.
* The values of LOCr() and LOCc() may be determined via a call to the * ScaLAPACK tool function, NUMROC:

*          LOCr( M ) = NUMROC( M, MB_A, MYROW, RSRC_A, NPROW ),
*          LOCc( N ) = NUMROC( N, NB_A, MYCOL, CSRC_A, NPCOL ).
*  An upper bound for these quantities may be computed by:
*          LOCr( M ) <= ceil( ceil(M/MB_A)/NPROW )*MB_A
*          LOCc( N ) <= ceil( ceil(N/NB_A)/NPCOL )*NB_A

*
* Arguments


*
* DESC (output) INTEGER array of dimension DLEN. * The array descriptor of a distributed matrix to be set. *
*  M       (global input) INTEGER
*          The number of rows in the distributed matrix. M >= 0.
*
*  N       (global input) INTEGER
*          The number of columns in the distributed matrix. N >= 0.
*
*  MB      (global input) INTEGER
*          The blocking factor used to distribute the rows of the
*          matrix. MB >= 1.
*
*  NB      (global input) INTEGER
*          The blocking factor used to distribute the columns of the
*          matrix. NB >= 1.

*
* IRSRC (global input) INTEGER

*          The process row over which the first row of the matrix is
*          distributed. 0 <= IRSRC < NPROW.

*
* ICSRC (global input) INTEGER

*          The process column over which the first column of the
*          matrix is distributed. 0 <= ICSRC < NPCOL.

*
* ICTXT (global input) INTEGER

*          The BLACS context handle, indicating the global context of
*          the operation on the matrix. The context itself is global.
*
*  LLD     (local input)  INTEGER
*          The leading dimension of the local array storing the local
*          blocks of the distributed matrix. LLD >= MAX(1,LOCr(M)).
