Function/Subroutine Documentation

  subroutine DLABAD (DOUBLE PRECISIONSMALL, DOUBLE PRECISIONLARGE)

DLABAD

Purpose:

     DLABAD takes as input the values computed by DLAMCH for underflow and
     overflow, and returns the square root of each of these values if the
     log of LARGE is sufficiently large.  This subroutine is intended to
     identify machines with a large exponent range, such as the Crays, and
     redefine the underflow and overflow limits to be the square roots of
     the values computed by DLAMCH.  This subroutine is needed because
     DLAMCH does not compensate for poor arithmetic in the upper half of
     the exponent range, as is found on a Cray.

Parameters:
    SMALL

              SMALL is DOUBLE PRECISION
              On entry, the underflow threshold as computed by DLAMCH.
              On exit, if LOG10(LARGE) is sufficiently large, the square
              root of SMALL, otherwise unchanged.

    LARGE

              LARGE is DOUBLE PRECISION
              On entry, the overflow threshold as computed by DLAMCH.
              On exit, if LOG10(LARGE) is sufficiently large, the square
              root of LARGE, otherwise unchanged.
