#### 6.7 psb_spall — Allocates a sparse matrix

call psb_spall(a, desc_a, info, nnz)

Type:
  Synchronous.
On Entry
desc_a
  the communication descriptor.
  Scope:local.
  Type:required.
  Intent: in.
  Specified as: a structured data of type psb_desc_type.
nnz
  An estimate of the number of nonzeroes in the local part of the assembled matrix.
  Scope: global.
  Type: optional.
  Intent: in.
  Specified as: an integer value.

On Return
a
  the matrix to be allocated.
  Scope:local
  Type:required
  Intent: out.
  Specified as: a structured data of type psb_Tspmat_type.
info
  Error code.
  Scope: local
  Type: required
  Intent: out.
  An integer value; 0 means no error has been detected.

Notes

1. On exit from this routine the sparse matrix is in the build state.
2. The descriptor may be in either the build or assembled state.
3. Providing a good estimate for the number of nonzeroes nnz in the assembled matrix may substantially improve performance in the matrix build phase, as it will reduce or eliminate the need for (potentially multiple) data reallocations.
