  1. MRRR-Based Eigensolvers for Multi-Core Processors and Supercomputers
    RWTH Aachen, Schinkelstr. 2, 52062 Aachen, December 2013.
    Doctoral defense.
    The real symmetric tridiagonal eigenproblem is of outstanding importance in numerical computations; it arises frequently as part of eigensolvers for dense standard and generalized Hermitian eigenproblems that are based on a reduction to tridiagonal form. For its solution, the algorithm of Multiple Relatively Robust Representations (MRRR or MR^3 in short) - introduced in the late 1990s - is among the fastest methods. To compute k eigenpairs of an n-by-n tridiagonal T, MRRR only requires O(kn) arithmetic operations; in contrast, all the other practical methods require O(k^2 n) or O(n^3) operations in the worst case. This talk centers around the performance and accuracy of MRRR-based eigensolvers on modern parallel architectures.
