 NAME
      SSYRK - perform one of the symmetric rank k operations   C
      := alpha*A*A' + beta*C,

 SYNOPSIS
      SUBROUTINE SSYRK ( UPLO, TRANS, N, K, ALPHA, A, LDA, BETA,
                       C, LDC )

          CHARACTER*1  UPLO, TRANS

          INTEGER      N, K, LDA, LDC

          REAL         ALPHA, BETA

          REAL         A( LDA, * ), C( LDC, * )

 PURPOSE
      SSYRK  performs one of the symmetric rank k operations

      or

         C := alpha*A'*A + beta*C,

      where  alpha and beta  are scalars, C is an  n by n  sym-
      metric matrix and  A  is an  n by k  matrix in the first
      case and a  k by n  matrix in the second case.

 PARAMETERS
      UPLO   - CHARACTER*1.
             On  entry,   UPLO  specifies  whether  the  upper  or
             lower triangular  part  of the  array  C  is to be
             referenced  as follows:

             UPLO = 'U' or 'u'   Only the  upper triangular part
             of  C is to be referenced.

             UPLO = 'L' or 'l'   Only the  lower triangular part
             of  C is to be referenced.

             Unchanged on exit.

      TRANS  - CHARACTER*1.
             On entry,  TRANS  specifies the operation to be per-
             formed as follows:

             TRANS = 'N' or 'n'   C := alpha*A*A' + beta*C.

             TRANS = 'T' or 't'   C := alpha*A'*A + beta*C.

             TRANS = 'C' or 'c'   C := alpha*A'*A + beta*C.

             Unchanged on exit.

      N      - INTEGER.
             On entry,  N specifies the order of the matrix C.  N
             must be at least zero.  Unchanged on exit.

      K      - INTEGER.
             On entry with  TRANS = 'N' or 'n',  K  specifies  the
             number of  columns   of  the   matrix   A,   and  on
             entry   with TRANS = 'T' or 't' or 'C' or 'c',  K
             specifies  the  number of rows of the matrix  A.  K
             must be at least zero.  Unchanged on exit.

      ALPHA  - REAL            .
             On entry, ALPHA specifies the scalar alpha.
             Unchanged on exit.

 ka is
      A      -
              REAL             array of DIMENSION ( LDA, ka ), where
             k  when  TRANS = 'N' or 'n',  and is  n  otherwise.
             Before entry with  TRANS = 'N' or 'n',  the  leading
             n by k part of the array  A  must contain the matrix
             A,  otherwise the leading  k by n  part of the array
             A  must contain  the matrix A.  Unchanged on exit.

      LDA    - INTEGER.
             On entry, LDA specifies the first dimension of A as
             declared in  the  calling  (sub)  program.   When
             TRANS = 'N' or 'n' then  LDA must be at least  max(
             1, n ), otherwise  LDA must be at least  max( 1, k ).
             Unchanged on exit.

      BETA   - REAL            .
             On entry, BETA specifies the scalar beta.  Unchanged
             on exit.

      C      - REAL             array of DIMENSION ( LDC, n ).
             Before entry  with  UPLO = 'U' or 'u',  the leading
             n by n upper triangular part of the array C must con-
             tain the upper triangular part  of the  symmetric
             matrix  and the strictly lower triangular part of C
             is not referenced.  On exit, the upper triangular
             part of the array  C is overwritten by the upper tri-
             angular part of the updated matrix.  Before entry
             with  UPLO = 'L' or 'l',  the leading  n by n lower
             triangular part of the array C must contain the lower
             triangular part  of the  symmetric matrix  and the
             strictly upper triangular part of C is not refer-
             enced.  On exit, the lower triangular part of the
             array  C is overwritten by the lower triangular part
             of the updated matrix.

      LDC    - INTEGER.
             On entry, LDC specifies the first dimension of C as
             declared in  the  calling  (sub)  program.   LDC
             must  be  at  least max( 1, n ).  Unchanged on exit.

             Level 3 Blas routine.
