NAME¶
elpa_eigenvectors - computes all eigenvalues and (part of) the eigenvectors for a real symmetric or complex hermitian eigenproblem: A*Q = λ*Q
There are also variations of this routine that can accept not only host but also device pointers as input/output. Names of these routines explicitly contain the corresponding datatypes: elpa_eigenvectors_double, elpa_eigenvectors_float, elpa_eigenvectors_double_complex, elpa_eigenvectors_float_complex.
SYNOPSIS¶
FORTRAN INTERFACE¶
use elpa
class(elpa_t), pointer :: elpa_handle
call elpa_handle%eigenvectors (a, ev, q, error)
With the definitions of the input and output variables:
- class(elpa_t) :: elpa_handle
- An instance of the ELPA object.
- datatype :: a
- The local part of matrix A for which the eigenvalues and (part of) eigenvectors should be computed. The dimensions of matrix a must be set BEFORE with the methods elpa_set(3) and elpa_setup(3). The datatype of the matrix can be one of "real(kind=c_double)", "real(kind=c_float)", "complex(kind=c_double)", or "complex(kind=c_float)". The global matrix has to be symmetric or hermitian, this is not checked by the routine.
- datatype_real :: ev
- The global array where the eigenvalues λ will be stored in ascending order. The datatype_real of ev can be either "real(kind=c_double)" or "real(kind=c_float)", depending of the datatype of the matrix. Note that complex hermitian matrices also have real eigenvalues.
- datatype :: q
- The storage space for the computed eigenvectors Q. The number of requested eigenvectors must be set BEFORE with the methods elpa_set(3) and elpa_setup(3). The datatype of the matrix can be one of "real(kind=c_double)", "real(kind=c_float)", "complex(kind=c_double)", or "complex(kind=c_float)".
- integer, optional :: error
- The return error code of the function. Should be "ELPA_OK". The error code can be queried with the function elpa_strerr(3).
C/C++ INTERFACE¶
#include <elpa/elpa.h>
elpa_t elpa_handle;
void elpa_eigenvectors(elpa_t elpa_handle, datatype *a, datatype_real *ev, datatype *q, int *error);
With the definitions of the input and output variables:
- elpa_t elpa_handle;
- The handle to the ELPA object
- datatype *a;
- The local part of matrix A for which the eigenvalues and (part of) eigenvectors should be computed. The dimensions of the matrix must be set BEFORE with the methods elpa_set(3) and elpa_setup(3). The datatype can be one of "double", "float", "double complex"/"std::complex<double>", "float complex"/"std::complex<float>" for C/C++. The global matrix has to be symmetric or hermitian, this is not checked by the routine.
- datatype_real *ev;
- The global array where the eigenvalues λ will be stored in ascending order. The datatype_real can be either "double" or "float", depending of the datatype of the matrix. Note that the eigenvalues of complex hermitian matrices are also real.
- datatype *q;
- The storage space for the computed eigenvectors Q. The number of requested eigenvectors must be set BEFORE with the methods elpa_set(3) and elpa_setup(3). The datatype can be one of "double", "float", "double complex"/"std::complex<double>", "float complex"/"std::complex<float>" for C/C++.
- int *error;
- The error code of the function. Should be "ELPA_OK". The error codes can be queried with elpa_strerr(3)
DESCRIPTION¶
Computes the eigenvalues and (part of) the eigenvector spectrum of a real symmetric or complex hermitian matrix. The functions elpa_init(3), elpa_allocate(3), elpa_set(3), and elpa_setup(3) must be called BEFORE elpa_eigenvectors can be called. In particular, the number of eigenvectors to be computed, "nev", must be set with elpa_set(3).
