Abstract

A parallel restarting block Davidson method is presented in this paper for calculating extreme eigenpairs of large sparse matrix A based on PC network parallel environment. The individual processors run under the control of a program base on the partial orthogonal base of projection subspace V. If the dimension of the subspace V is greater than m, the subspace V is constructed with new Ritz vector, and the iteration is restarting. MPI is installed in the operation system of windows 2000 on microcomputers to construct a PC network parallel computing environment. The results of numerical experiments show that the algorithm is highly effective.
