\label{sec:toolsrout}
\subroutine{psb\_init}{Initializes PSBLAS parallel environment}
\syntax{call psb\_init}{ictxt, np}
This subroutine initializes the PSBLAS parallel environment, defining
a virtual parallel machine.
\begin{description}
\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}{ictxt, 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.\\
Scope:{\bf global}.\\
Type:{\bf required}.\\
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}.\\
Type:{\bf required}.\\

\item[np] Number of processes in the PSBLAS virtual parallel machine.\\
Scope:{\bf global}.\\
Type:{\bf required}.\\
Specified as: an integer variable. \
\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 $iam=-1$;
any such process may only place a call to \verb|psb_exit|, and is
required to do so.
\end{enumerate}
\subroutine{psb\_exit}{Exit from PSBLAS parallel environment}
\syntax{call psb\_exit}{ictxt}
This subroutine exits from the PSBLAS parallel virtual machine.
\begin{description}

parallel machine.\\

Specified as: an integer variable.
\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 in this situation, and it is required to
do so.
\end{enumerate}
\subroutine{psb\_barrier}{Sinchronization point parallel environment}
\syntax{call psb\_barrier}{ictxt}
This subroutine acts as a synchronization point for the PSBLAS
parallel virtual machine. As such, it must be called by all
participating processes.

parallel machine.\\

\begin{enumerate}
\item On entry to this routine the descriptor may be in either the
build or assembled state.
\item On entry to this routine the sparse matrix may be in either the
build or update state.
\item If the descriptor is in the build state, then the sparse matrix
ought also be in the build state; the action of the routine is to
(implicitly) call \verb|psb_cdins| to add entries to the sparsity
pattern;
\item If the descriptor is in the assembled state, then any entries in
the sparse matrix that would generate additional communication
requirements will be ignored;
\item If the matrix is in the update state, any entries in positions
that were not present in the original matrix will be ignored.

\section*{Notes}
\begin{enumerate}
\item On entry to this routine the descriptor must be in the
assembled state, i.e. \verb|psb_cdasb| must already have been called.
\item The sparse matrix may be in either the build or update state;
\item Duplicate entries are detected and handled in both build and
update state, with the exception of the error action that is only
taken in the build state, i.e. on the first assembly;
\item If the update choice is \verb|psb_upd_perm_|, then subsequent
calls to \verb|psb_spins| to update the matrix must be arranged in
such a way as to produce exactly the same sequence of coefficient
values as encountered at the first assembly;
\item On exit from this routine the matrix is in the assembled state,
and thus is suitable for the computational routines.
