Subject: SLEPc, the Scalable Library for Eigenvalue Problem Computations
SLEPc: Scalable Library for Eigenvalue Problem Computations
http://www.grycap.upv.es/slepc
We are pleased to announce the release of SLEPc 2.3.2. This release is a
major milestone in the development of SLEPc since it includes a new
Krylov-Schur eigensolver, a state-of-the-art algorithm in the sparse
eigenvalue scenario. Additional new features are listed in
http://www.grycap.upv.es/slepc/changes.htm. This version can be used
with both PETSc 2.3.2 and 2.3.1.
About SLEPc: SLEPc is a parallel software library for the solution of
large sparse eigenvalue problems on parallel computers. It can be used
for the solution of problems formulated in either standard or
generalized form, both Hermitian and non-Hermitian, with either real or
complex arithmetic. SLEPc is built on top of PETSc, the Portable
Extensible Toolkit for Scientific Computation
(http://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc). It can be considered an extension of
PETSc providing all the functionality necessary for the solution of
eigenvalue problems, including different eigensolvers as well as
built-in support for spectral transformations such as shift-and-invert.
Please send bug reports, questions, and requests for new features to

Subject: Block Locally Optimal Preconditioned Eigenvalue Xolvers (BLOPEX) software
BLOPEX (http://www-math.cudenver.edu/~aknyazev/software/BLOPEX/) is a package,
written in C, that at present includes only one eigenxolver, Locally Optimal
Block Preconditioned Conjugate Gradient Method (LOBPCG), see
http://www.netlib.org/na-digest-html/00/v00n07.html#6 and
http://dx.doi.org/10.1137/S1064827500366124 .
Main features: a matrix-free iterative method for computing several extreme
eigenpairs of symmetric positive generalized eigenproblems; a user-defined
symmetric positive preconditioner can be used; robustness with respect to
random initial approximations, variable preconditioners, and ill-conditioning
of the stiffness matrix; possibly nearly optimal convergence speed.
BLOPEX supports parallel MPI-based computations through an abstract layer. The
core of BLOPEX is the archive blopex_abstract.tgz, which contains the
eigenxolvers codes and can be compiled into the BLOPEX library, using the
sample Makefiles provided. To test the basic functionality of the BLOPEX
library, we include the archive blopex_serial.tgz with a simple serial test
driver (preinstalled LAPACK is required).
BLOPEX is incorporated in the Hypre package from CASC of LLNL, see
http://www.llnl.gov/casc/hypre/software.html. Sample BLOPEX-Hypre tests are
the lines in Hypre test/TEST_ij/*.jobs and test/TEST_struct/*.jobs that
contain -lobpcg option.
BLOPEX is also available as an external block to the PETSc package from
Mathematics and Computer Science Division of ANL, see
http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-as/. Download the latest PETSc and
configure it with ./config/configure.py --download-hypre=1 --download-blopex=1
options to use BLOPEX-PETSc with Hypre preconditioning. Sample BLOPEX-PETSc
test drivers are in the PETSc src/contrib/blopex directory.
Finally, BLOPEX is available in and for MATLAB as the archive
blopex_matlab.tgz, which contains the MATLAB source of the LOBPCG eigenxolver
(also available from
http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/loadFile.do?objectId=48&objectType=FILE)
and the MATLAB interface to the C code of blopex_abstract.tgz.
The BLOPEX package is being developed by Andrew Knyazev, Merico Argentati,
Ilya Lashuk, and Evgueni Ovtchinnikov since 2002. It has been tested for
mega-million eigenproblems on a variety of computers, including IBM
BlueGene/L. The package is supported.

MATLAB Tensor Toolbox Version 2.0
Tensors (also known as mutidimensional arrays or N-way arrays) are used in a
variety of applications ranging from chemometrics to psychometrics. The MATLAB
tensor toolbox provides the following classes for manipulating dense, sparse, and
structured tensors using MATLAB's object-oriented features:
* tensor - An extension of MATLAB's native multidimensional array
capabilities.
* sptensor - A sparse multidimensional array. [New in Version 2.0]
* tenmat - Store a tensor as a matrix, with extra information so that it
can be converted back into a tensor.
* sptenmat - Store a sptensor as sparse matrix in coordinate format, with
extra information so that it can be converted back into a sptensor. [New
in Version 2.0]
* ttensor - Store a tensor decomposed as a Tucker operator (a core tensor
multiplied by matrices in each mode).
* ktensor - Store a tensor decomposed as a Kruskal operator (the sum of
rank-one tensors).
Version 2.0 adds support for sparse tensors, new functionality for existing
classes, and increased efficiency throughout. For more information visit
