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 SLAMCH. This subroutine is needed because SLAMCH does not compensate for poor arithmetic in the upper half of the exponent range, as is found on a Cray. .fi .PP .RE .PP \fBParameters:\fP .RS 4 \fISMALL\fP .PP .nf SMALL is REAL On entry, the underflow threshold as computed by SLAMCH. On exit, if LOG10(LARGE) is sufficiently large, the square root of SMALL, otherwise unchanged. .fi .PP .br \fILARGE\fP .PP .nf LARGE is REAL On entry, the overflow threshold as computed by SLAMCH. On exit, if LOG10(LARGE) is sufficiently large, the square root of LARGE, otherwise unchanged. .fi .PP .RE .PP \fBAuthor:\fP .RS 4 Univ\&. of Tennessee .PP Univ\&. of California Berkeley .PP Univ\&. of Colorado Denver .PP NAG Ltd\&. .RE .PP \fBDate:\fP .RS 4 November 2011 .RE .PP .PP Definition at line 75 of file slabad\&.f\&. .SH "Author" .PP Generated automatically by Doxygen for LAPACK from the source code\&.
