The computation of selected or all eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a
|
|
symmetric (Hermitian) matrix has high relevance for various scientific
|
|
disciplines.
|
|
|
|
For the calculation of a significant part of the eigensystem typically
|
|
direct eigensolvers are used. For large problems, the eigensystem
|
|
calculations with existing solvers can become the computational
|
|
bottleneck.
|
|
|
|
As a consequence, the ELPA project was initiated with the aim to
|
|
develop and implement an efficient eigenvalue solver for petaflop
|
|
applications, supported by the German Federal Government, through
|
|
BMBF Grant 01IH08007, from Dec 2008 to Nov 2011.
|
|
|
|
The challenging task has been addressed through a multi-disciplinary
|
|
consortium of partners with complementary skills in different areas.
|
|
|
|
As project outcome, the highly scalable and efficient direct eigen-
|
|
solvers LPA have been developed. The ELPA library was publicly
|
|
released in May 2011.
|
|
|
|
Since the end of BMBF Grant 01IH08007 in Nov 2011, the ELPA library
|
|
has been maintained by RZG - renamed to MPCDF in 2015.
|
|
|
|
Through the BMBF Grant 01IH15001 (Project ELPA-AEO from Feb 2016 to
|
|
Jan 2019) the ELPA library could be further optimized, enhanced and
|
|
ported to new architectures.
