Purpose
=======
sp_ienv() is inquired to choose machine-dependent parameters for the
local environment. See ISPEC for a description of the parameters.
This version provides a set of parameters which should give good,
but not optimal, performance on many of the currently available
computers. Users are encouraged to modify this subroutine to set
the tuning parameters for their particular machine using the option
and problem size information in the arguments.
Arguments
=========
ISPEC (input) int
Specifies the parameter to be returned as the value of SP_IENV.
= 1: the panel size w; a panel consists of w consecutive
columns of matrix A in the process of Gaussian elimination.
The best value depends on machine's cache characters.
= 2: the relaxation parameter relax; if the number of
nodes (columns) in a subtree of the elimination tree is less
than relax, this subtree is considered as one supernode,
regardless of their row structures.
= 3: the maximum size for a supernode in complete LU;
= 4: the minimum row dimension for 2-D blocking to be used;
= 5: the minimum column dimension for 2-D blocking to be used;
= 6: the estimated fills factor for L and U, compared with A;
= 7: the maximum size for a supernode in ILU.
(SP_IENV) (output) int
>= 0: the value of the parameter specified by ISPEC
< 0: if SP_IENV = -k, the k-th argument had an illegal value.
