environment}
\addcontentsline{toc}{subsection}{psb\_init}
\begin{verbatim}
call psb_init(icontxt, np, basectxt, ids)
\end{verbatim}
This subroutine initializes the PSBLAS parallel environment, defining
a virtual parallel machine.
\begin{description}
\item[Type:] Synchronous.
\item[\bf On Entry ]
\item[np] Number of processes in the PSBLAS virtual parallel machine.\\
Scope: {\bf global}.\\
Type: {\bf optional}.\\
Intent: {\bf in}.\\
Specified as: an integer value. \
Default: use all available processes.
\item[basectxt] the initial communication context. The new context
will be defined from the processes participating in the initial one.\\
Scope: {\bf global}.\\
Type: {\bf optional}.\\
Intent: {\bf in}.\\
Specified as: an integer value. \
Default: use MPI\_COMM\_WORLD.
\item[ids] Identities of the processes to use for the new context; the
argument is ignored when \verb|np| is not specified. This allows the
processes in the new environment to be in an order different from the
original one.\\
Scope: {\bf global}.\\
Type: {\bf optional}.\\
Intent: {\bf in}.\\
Specified as: an integer array. \
Default: use the indices $(0\dots np-1)$.
\end{description}
\begin{description}
\item[\bf On Return]
\item[icontxt] the communication context identifying the virtual
parallel machine. Note that this is always a duplicate of
\verb|basectxt|, so that library communications are completely
separated from other communication operations.\\
Scope: {\bf global}.\\
Type: {\bf required}.\\
Intent: {\bf out}.\\
Specified as: an integer variable.
\end{description}
{\par\noindent\large\bfseries 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 base parallel
environment.
\end{enumerate}
\clearpage\subsection*{psb\_info --- Return information about PSBLAS parallel
environment}
\addcontentsline{toc}{subsection}{psb\_info}
\begin{verbatim}
call psb_info(icontxt, iam, np)

\begin{description}
\item[Type:] Asynchronous.

Intent: {\bf out}.\\
Specified as: an integer variable. \
\end{description}
{\par\noindent\large\bfseries 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}
\clearpage\subsection*{psb\_exit --- Exit from PSBLAS parallel

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

\end{description}
{\par\noindent\large\bfseries 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 A call to this routine with \verb|close=.true.| implies a call
to \verb|MPI_Finalize|, after which no parallel routine may be called.
\item If the user whishes to use multiple communication contexts in the
same program, or to enter and exit multiple times into the parallel
environment, this routine may be called 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.
