DLAMCH - determine double precision machine parameters
| DOUBLE PRECISION | FUNCTION DLAMCH( CMACH ) | |||
| CHARACTER | CMACH | 
DLAMCH determines double precision machine parameters.
CMACH (input) CHARACTER*1
Specifies the value to be
returned by DLAMCH: 
= ’E’ or ’e’, DLAMCH := eps 
= ’S’ or ’s , DLAMCH := sfmin 
= ’B’ or ’b’, DLAMCH := base 
= ’P’ or ’p’, DLAMCH := eps*base
= ’N’ or ’n’, DLAMCH := t 
= ’R’ or ’r’, DLAMCH := rnd 
= ’M’ or ’m’, DLAMCH := emin 
= ’U’ or ’u’, DLAMCH := rmin 
= ’L’ or ’l’, DLAMCH := emax 
= ’O’ or ’o’, DLAMCH := rmax
where
eps = relative machine precision
sfmin = safe minimum, such that 1/sfmin does not overflow base = base of the machine prec = eps*base t = number of (base) digits in the mantissa rnd = 1.0 when rounding occurs in addition, 0.0 otherwise emin = minimum exponent before (gradual) underflow rmin = underflow threshold - base**(emin-1) emax = largest exponent before overflow rmax = overflow threshold - (base**emax)*(1-eps)
