  Purpose
  =======
  PDLASET initializes an M-by-N distributed matrix sub( A ) denoting
  A(IA:IA+M-1,JA:JA+N-1) to BETA on the diagonal and ALPHA on the
  offdiagonals.
  Notes
  =====
  Each global data object is described by an associated description
  vector.  This vector stores the information required to establish
  the mapping between an object element and its corresponding process
  and memory location.
  Let A be a generic term for any 2D block cyclicly distributed array.
  Such a global array has an associated description vector DESCA.
  In the following comments, the character _ should be read as
  "of the global array".
  NOTATION        STORED IN      EXPLANATION
  --------------- -------------- --------------------------------------
  DTYPE_A(global) DESCA( DTYPE_ )The descriptor type.  In this case,
                                 DTYPE_A = 1.
  CTXT_A (global) DESCA( CTXT_ ) The BLACS context handle, indicating
                                 the BLACS process grid A is distribu-
                                 ted over. The context itself is glo-
                                 bal, but the handle (the integer
                                 value) may vary.
  M_A    (global) DESCA( M_ )    The number of rows in the global
                                 array A.
  N_A    (global) DESCA( N_ )    The number of columns in the global
                                 array A.
  MB_A   (global) DESCA( MB_ )   The blocking factor used to distribute
                                 the rows of the array.
  NB_A   (global) DESCA( NB_ )   The blocking factor used to distribute
                                 the columns of the array.
  RSRC_A (global) DESCA( RSRC_ ) The process row over which the first
                                 row of the array A is distributed.
  CSRC_A (global) DESCA( CSRC_ ) The process column over which the
                                 first column of the array A is
                                 distributed.
  LLD_A  (local)  DESCA( LLD_ )  The leading dimension of the local
                                 array.  LLD_A >= MAX(1,LOCr(M_A)).
  Let K be the number of rows or columns of a distributed matrix,
  and assume that its process grid has dimension p x q.
  LOCr( K ) denotes the number of elements of K that a process
  would receive if K were distributed over the p processes of its
  process column.
  Similarly, LOCc( K ) denotes the number of elements of K that a
  process would receive if K were distributed over the q processes of
  its process row.
  The values of LOCr() and LOCc() may be determined via a call to the
  ScaLAPACK tool function, NUMROC:
          LOCr( M ) = NUMROC( M, MB_A, MYROW, RSRC_A, NPROW ),
          LOCc( N ) = NUMROC( N, NB_A, MYCOL, CSRC_A, NPCOL ).
  An upper bound for these quantities may be computed by:
          LOCr( M ) <= ceil( ceil(M/MB_A)/NPROW )*MB_A
          LOCc( N ) <= ceil( ceil(N/NB_A)/NPCOL )*NB_A
  Arguments
  =========
  UPLO    (global input) CHARACTER
          Specifies the part of the distributed matrix sub( A ) to be
          set:
          = 'U':      Upper triangular part is set; the strictly lower
                      triangular part of sub( A ) is not changed;
          = 'L':      Lower triangular part is set; the strictly upper
                      triangular part of sub( A ) is not changed;
          Otherwise:  All of the matrix sub( A ) is set.
  M       (global input) INTEGER
          The number of rows to be operated on i.e the number of rows
          of the distributed submatrix sub( A ). M >= 0.
  N       (global input) INTEGER
          The number of columns to be operated on i.e the number of
          columns of the distributed submatrix sub( A ). N >= 0.
  ALPHA   (global input) DOUBLE PRECISION
          The constant to which the offdiagonal elements are to be
          set.
  BETA    (global input) DOUBLE PRECISION
          The constant to which the diagonal elements are to be set.
  A       (local output) DOUBLE PRECISION pointer into the local memory
          to an array of dimension (LLD_A,LOCc(JA+N-1)).  This array
          contains the local pieces of the distributed matrix sub( A )
          to be set.  On exit, the leading M-by-N submatrix sub( A )
          is set as follows:
          if UPLO = 'U', A(IA+i-1,JA+j-1) = ALPHA, 1<=i<=j-1, 1<=j<=N,
          if UPLO = 'L', A(IA+i-1,JA+j-1) = ALPHA, j+1<=i<=M, 1<=j<=N,
          otherwise,     A(IA+i-1,JA+j-1) = ALPHA, 1<=i<=M, 1<=j<=N,
                                                   IA+i.NE.JA+j,
          and, for all UPLO, A(IA+i-1,JA+i-1) = BETA, 1<=i<=min(M,N).
  IA      (global input) INTEGER
          The row index in the global array A indicating the first
          row of sub( A ).
  JA      (global input) INTEGER
          The column index in the global array A indicating the
          first column of sub( A ).
  DESCA   (global and local input) INTEGER array of dimension DLEN_.
          The array descriptor for the distributed matrix A.
