322.0. "Math lib for eigen value solver" by TKOV50::NAKANO () Tue May 06 1997 05:15

Customer needs variety of eigen value solver.
There are many public domain solvers or commercial solver for eigen value 
solver,such as SCILIB,EISPACK(ALTMLIB),BCSLIB,SEGLIB ETC.

What math_lib are available on Alpha/UNIX?
How can I get them and detail information?

> What math_lib are available on Alpha/UNIX?

  DXML supports LAPACK.

> How can I get them and detail information?

  Typing:

  man lapack

  at the prompt, on a system where DXML is installed, is good way to
  get started. :-)

322.2for Sparse matrix ?TKOV50::NAKANOTue May 06 1997 23:398
    Thank you Dwight-san,
    
    I found  some eigen value solver for dense and triangle matrix.
    Is there math_lib which support eigen value solver of sparce matrix?
    
    Regards

Hi Nakano-san,

>    Is there math_lib which support eigen value solver of sparce matrix?

Yes, but not in DXML. I suggest searching netlib or, better yet, contacting
Susanne Balle. I don't know her e-mail address, but sending mail to her at
[email protected] should work. Susanne works in John Kreatsoulas's
expertise center and is an externally recognized expert on this very topic.

Best Regards,

322.5BCSLIB on ALpha?TKOV50::NAKANOThu May 08 1997 11:3547
    Customer,EPSON R&D found out NCSLIB which can handle very high density
    matrix from spare matrix.
    (their simulation model is very large. If they take skyline method,the
    size of their simulation model require over 10GB memory.)
    BCSLIB is supporting SGI,CRAY and sun.
    But EPSON would like to use Alpha.
    
    The conatct person is

    For processing skyline matrices of this size, you should consider the
    Fast Matrix Solver (FMSlib) package distributed by Dr. Ronald Young of
    Multipath Corporation. Dr. Young has been a Digital ISV for many years.
    His product is of very high quality and is well optimized for Alpha
    platforms. FMSlib has some eigenvalue capability, probably enough to
    meet your EPSON's needs. Please find information about fmslib on the
    web at:

	http://www.fmslib.com
   
    or contact Dr. Young at

    As far as I know, we have no business relationship with BCSLIB. Sorry.
    However, because FMSlib specializes in very large out of core linear
    systems, I think Boeing may even be an FMSlib customer.

    BTW - Dr. Young and Randy Doering of the Washington D.C. recently solved
    a 100,000 X 100,1000 dense complex linear system on a very large 8400
    system at the Washington, D.C. benchmark center. Either he or Randy will
    be very happy to talk about it.

    Good Luck.
