About:
SLEPc (Scalable Library for Eigenvalue Problem Computations) is a software package for solving large scale sparse eigenvalue problems on parallel computers. This formula provides the complex scalar variant, enabling the solution of non-Hermitian eigenvalue problems and singular value decompositions. It is built on top of PETSc and provides a variety of eigensolvers for high-performance scientific computing.
Key Features:
  • Parallel computation support via MPI
  • Multiple eigensolver algorithms (Krylov, Arnoldi, Lanczos)
  • Integration with PETSc data structures
  • Support for singular value decomposition (SVD)
  • Complex scalar arithmetic support
Use Cases:
  • Solving non-Hermitian eigenvalue problems in quantum physics
  • Modal analysis in structural engineering
  • Large-scale singular value decomposition for data analysis
Alternatives:
  • ARPACK – ARPACK is a standard library for eigenvalue problems but lacks the native parallel scalability and PETSc integration of SLEPc.
  • Eigen – Eigen is a C++ template library for linear algebra, better suited for dense matrices and single-node computation rather than large sparse parallel systems.
