\section{Parallel environment routines}
\label{sec:parenv}
\subroutine{psb\_init}{Initializes PSBLAS parallel environment}
\syntax{call psb\_init}{icontxt, np}
This subroutine initializes the PSBLAS parallel environment, defining
a virtual parallel machine.

\item[\bf On Entry ]
\item[np] Number of processes in the PSBLAS virtual parallel machine.\\
Scope:{\bf global}.\\
Type:{\bf optional}.\\
Specified as: an integer value. \
Default: use all available processes provided by the underlying
parallel environment.
\end{description}
\begin{description}
\item[\bf On Return]
\item[icontxt] the communication context identifying the virtual
parallel machine.\\
Scope:{\bf global}.\\
Type:{\bf required}.\\
Specified as: an integer variable.
\end{description}
\section*{Notes}
\begin{enumerate}
\item A call to this routine must precede any other PSBLAS call.
\item It is an error to specify a value for $np$ greater than the
number of processes available in the underlying parallel execution
environment.
\end{enumerate}
\subroutine{psb\_info}{Return information about PSBLAS parallel environment}
\syntax{call psb\_info}{icontxt, iam, np}
This subroutine returns informantion about the PSBLAS parallel environment, defining
a virtual parallel machine.
\begin{description}
\item[\bf On Entry ]
\item[icontxt] the communication context identifying the virtual
parallel machine.\\

Specified as: an integer variable.
\end{description}
\begin{description}
\item[\bf On Return]
\item[iam] Identifier of current process in the PSBLAS virtual parallel machine.\\
Scope:{\bf local}.\\

Scope:{\bf global}.\\

\end{description}
\section*{Notes}
\begin{enumerate}
\item For processes in the virtual parallel machine the identifier
will satisfy $0 \le iam \le np-1$;
\item If the user has requested on \verb|psb_init| a number of
processes less than the total available in the parallel execution
environment, the remaining processes will have on return $iam=-1$;
the only call involving \verb|icontxt| that any such process may
execute is to \verb|psb_exit|.
\end{enumerate}

\syntax{call psb\_exit}{icontxt}
\syntax*{call psb\_exit}{icontxt,close}

virtual parallel machine, besides those associated with icontxt.\\
Scope:{\bf global}.\\
Type:{\bf optional}.\\

\end{description}
\section*{Notes}
\begin{enumerate}
\item This routine may be called even if a previous call to
\verb|psb_info| has returned with $iam=-1$; indeed, it it is the only
routine that may be called with argument \verb|icontxt| in this
situation.
\item If the user wants to use multiple communication contexts in the
same program, this routine may be called multiple times to
selectively close the contexts with \verb|close=.false.|, while on
the last call it should be called with \verb|close=.true.| to
shutdown in a clean way the entire parallel environment.
