Parallel Application Software on High Performance Computers - Parallel Diagonalisation Routines.

Abstract

In this report we list diagonalisation routines available for parallel computers. The methodology of each routine is outlined together with benchmark results on a typical matrix where available. Storage requirements and advantages and disadvantages of the method are also compared. The vast majority of these routines are available for real dense symmetric matrices only, although there is a known requirement for other data types -- such as Hermitian or structured sparse matrices. We will report on new codes as they become available. This report is available from http://www.dl.ac.uk/TCSC/HPCI/ c fl1996, Daresbury Laboratory.
