Abstract

Structural dynamic analysis often involves the solution of the generalized eigenvalue problem. This paper describes a parallel implementation of the Lanczos method, which has rapidly become the preferred solution method for the eigenvalue problems. We review a parallel sparse matrix factorization scheme implemented on a distributed memory computer and propose a strategy to facilitate the solution of triangular systems. Furthermore, different parallel strategies for mass matrix-vector multiplication and how they can be implemented effectively in the Lanczos procedure are discussed. The Lanczos procedure implemented includes partial and external selective reorthogonalizations and spectral shifts. Numerical results on an Intel's iPSC/860 parallel computer are presented to examine the effectiveness of the implementation.
