  Purpose
  =======
  PDPOSV computes the solution to a real system of linear equations
                        sub( A ) * X = sub( B ),
  where sub( A ) denotes A(IA:IA+N-1,JA:JA+N-1) and is an N-by-N
  symmetric distributed positive definite matrix and X and sub( B )
  denoting B(IB:IB+N-1,JB:JB+NRHS-1) are N-by-NRHS distributed
  matrices.
  The Cholesky decomposition is used to factor sub( A ) as
                     sub( A ) = U**T * U,  if UPLO = 'U', or
                     sub( A ) = L * L**T,  if UPLO = 'L',
  where U is an upper triangular matrix and L is a lower triangular
  matrix.  The factored form of sub( A ) is then used to solve the
  system of equations.
  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
  This routine requires square block decomposition ( MB_A = NB_A ).
  Arguments
  =========
  UPLO    (global input) CHARACTER
          = 'U':  Upper triangle of sub( A ) is stored;
          = 'L':  Lower triangle of sub( A ) is stored.
  N       (global input) INTEGER
          The number of rows and columns to be operated on, i.e. the
          order of the distributed submatrix sub( A ). N >= 0.
  NRHS    (global input) INTEGER
          The number of right hand sides, i.e., the number of columns
          of the distributed submatrix sub( B ). NRHS >= 0.
  A       (local input/local output) DOUBLE PRECISION pointer into the
          local memory to an array of dimension (LLD_A, LOCc(JA+N-1)).
          On entry, this array contains the local pieces of the
          N-by-N symmetric distributed matrix sub( A ) to be factored.
          If UPLO = 'U', the leading N-by-N upper triangular part of
          sub( A ) contains the upper triangular part of the matrix,
          and its strictly lower triangular part is not referenced.
          If UPLO = 'L', the leading N-by-N lower triangular part of
          sub( A ) contains the lower triangular part of the distribu-
          ted matrix, and its strictly upper triangular part is not
          referenced. On exit, if INFO = 0, this array contains the
          local pieces of the factor U or L from the Cholesky factori-
          zation sub( A ) = U**T*U or L*L**T.
  IA      (global input) INTEGER

          local memory to an array of dimension (LLD_B,LOC(JB+NRHS-1)).
          On entry, the local pieces of the right hand sides distribu-
          ted matrix sub( B ). On exit, if INFO = 0, sub( B ) is over-
          written with the solution distributed matrix X.
  IB      (global input) INTEGER
          The row index in the global array B indicating the first
          row of sub( B ).
  JB      (global input) INTEGER
          The column index in the global array B indicating the
          first column of sub( B ).
  DESCB   (global and local input) INTEGER array of dimension DLEN_.
          The array descriptor for the distributed matrix B.
  INFO    (global output) INTEGER
          = 0:  successful exit
          < 0:  If the i-th argument is an array and the j-entry had
                an illegal value, then INFO = -(i*100+j), if the i-th
                argument is a scalar and had an illegal value, then
                INFO = -i.
          > 0:  If INFO = K, the leading minor of order K,
                A(IA:IA+K-1,JA:JA+K-1) is not positive definite, and
                the factorization could not be completed, and the
                solution has not been computed.
