*  Purpose
*  =======
*
*  SLATRD reduces NB rows and columns of a real symmetric matrix A to
*  symmetric tridiagonal form by an orthogonal similarity
*  transformation Q' * A * Q, and returns the matrices V and W which are
*  needed to apply the transformation to the unreduced part of A.
*
*  If UPLO = 'U', SLATRD reduces the last NB rows and columns of a
*  matrix, of which the upper triangle is supplied;
*  if UPLO = 'L', SLATRD reduces the first NB rows and columns of a
*  matrix, of which the lower triangle is supplied. 
*
*  This is an auxiliary routine called by SSYTRD. 
*
*  Arguments
*  =========
*
*  UPLO    (input) CHARACTER
*          Specifies whether the upper or lower triangular part of the
*          symmetric matrix A is stored:
*          = 'U': Upper triangular
*          = 'L': Lower triangular
*
*  N       (input) INTEGER
*          The order of the matrix A.
*
*  NB      (input) INTEGER
*          The number of rows and columns to be reduced. 
*
*  A       (input/output) REAL array, dimension (LDA,N)
*          On entry, the symmetric matrix A.  If UPLO = 'U', the leading
*          n-by-n upper triangular part of A contains the upper
*          triangular part of the matrix A, and the strictly lower
*          triangular part of A is not referenced.   If UPLO = 'L', the
*          leading n-by-n lower triangular part of A contains the lower
*          triangular part of the matrix A, and the strictly upper
*          triangular part of A is not referenced. 
*          On exit:
*          if UPLO = 'U', the last NB columns have been reduced to
*            tridiagonal form, with the diagonal elements overwriting
*            the diagonal elements of A; the elements above the diagonal
*            with the array TAU, represent the orthogonal matrix Q as a
*            product of elementary reflectors;
*          if UPLO = 'L', the first NB columns have been reduced to
*            tridiagonal form, with the diagonal elements overwriting
*            the diagonal elements of A; the elements below the diagonal
*            with the array TAU, represent the  orthogonal matrix Q as a
*            product of elementary reflectors. 
*          See Further Details. 
*
*  LDA     (input) INTEGER
*          The leading dimension of the array A.  LDA >= (1,N). 
*
*  E       (output) REAL array, dimension (N-1)
*          If UPLO = 'U', E(n-nb:n-1) contains the superdiagonal
*          elements of the last NB columns of the reduced matrix;
*          if UPLO = 'L', E(1:nb) contains the subdiagonal elements of
*          the first NB columns of the reduced matrix. 
*
*  TAU     (output) REAL array, dimension (N-1)
*          The scalar factors of the elementary reflectors, stored in
*          TAU(n-nb:n-1) if UPLO = 'U', and in TAU(1:nb) if UPLO = 'L'. 
*          See Further Details. 
*
*  W       (output) REAL array, dimension (LDW,NB)
*          The n-by-nb matrix W required to update the unreduced part
*          of A.
*
*  LDW     (input) INTEGER
*          The leading dimension of the array W. LDW >= max(1,N). 
*
*  Further Details
*  ===============
*
*  If UPLO = 'U', the matrix Q is represented as a product of elementary
*  reflectors
*
*     Q = H(n) H(n-1) . . .  H(n-nb+1). 
*
*  Each H(i) has the form
*
*     H(i) = I - tau * v * v'
*
*  where tau is a real scalar, and v is a real vector with
*  v(i:n) = 0 and v(i-1) = 1; v(1:i-1) is stored on exit in A(1:i-1,i),
*  and tau in TAU(i-1). 
*
*  If UPLO = 'L', the matrix Q is represented as a product of elementary
*  reflectors
*
*     Q = H(1) H(2) . . .  H(nb). 
*
*  Each H(i) has the form
*
*     H(i) = I - tau * v * v'
*
*  where tau is a real scalar, and v is a real vector with
*  v(1:i) = 0 and v(i+1) = 1; v(i+1:n) is stored on exit in A(i+1:n,i),
*  and tau in TAU(i). 
*
*  The elements of the vectors v together form the n-by-nb matrix V
*  which is needed, with W, to apply the transformation to the unreduced
*  part of the matrix, using a symmetric rank-2k update of the form:
*  A := A - V*W' - W*V'. 
*
*  The contents of A on exit are illustrated by the following examples
*  with n = 5 and nb = 2:
*
*  if UPLO = 'U':                       if UPLO = 'L':
*
*    (  a   a   a   v4  v5 )              (  d                  )
*    (      a   a   v4  v5 )              (  1   d              )
*    (          a   1   v5 )              (  v1  1   a          )
*    (              d   1  )              (  v1  v2  a   a      )
*    (                  d  )              (  v1  v2  a   a   a  )
*
*  where d denotes a diagonal element of the reduced matrix, a denotes
*  an element of the original matrix that is unchanged, and vi denotes
*  an element of the vector defining H(i).
