GCGE: A Package for Solving Large Scale Eigenvalue Problems by Parallel Block Damping Inverse Power Method
We propose an eigensolver and the corresponding package, GCGE, for solving large scale eigenvalue problems. This method is the combination of damping idea, subspace projection method and inverse power method with dynamic shifts. To reduce the dimensions of projection subspaces, a moving mechanism is developed when the number of desired eigenpairs is large. The numerical methods, implementing techniques and the structure of the package are presented. Plenty of numerical results are provided to demonstrate the efficiency, stability and scalability of the concerned eigensolver and the package GCGE for computing many eigenpairs of large symmetric matrices arising from applications.
