Title: A divide and conquer approach to the nonsymmetric eigenvalue problem

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5903287

Serial computation combined with high communication costs on distributed-memory multiprocessors make parallel implementations of the QR method for the nonsymmetric eigenvalue problem inefficient. This paper introduces an alternative algorithm for the nonsymmetric tridiagonal eigenvalue problem based on rank two tearing and updating of the matrix. The parallelism of this divide and conquer approach stems from independent solution of the updating problems. 11 refs.
