Abstract

We consider the numerical solution on distributed-memory parallel arrays of vector processors of some large-scale eigenvalue problems which arise in chemistry and physics. Applications from a variety of areas are discussed, including molecular dynamics, quantum chemistry, optical physics, chemical reactions, and hydrodynamic stability.
