PARPACK

Abstract

PARPACK (Parallel ARPACK) is an extension of the ARPACK software package used for solving large scale eigenvalue problems on distributed memory parallel architectures. The ARPACK software is capable of solving large scale symmetric, nonsymmetric, and generalized eigenproblems from significant application areas. The software is designed to compute a few eigenvalues with user specified features such as those of largest real part or largest magnitude.
