abstract = {In many material science applications simulations are made
of dozens of sequences, where each sequence groups together
eigenproblems with increasing self-consistent cycle
outer-iteration index. Successive eigenproblems in a
sequence possess a high degree of correlation. In particular
it has been demonstrated that eigenvectors of adjacent
eigenproblems become progressively more collinear to each
other as the outer-iteration index increases. This result
suggests one could use eigenvectors, computed at a certain
outer-iteration, as approximate solutions to improve the
performance of the eigensolver at the next one. In order to
opti- mally exploit the approximate solution, we developed a
block iterative eigensolver augmented with a Chebyshev
polynomial accelerator (BChFSI). Numerical tests show that,
when the sequential version of the solver is fed approximate
solutions instead of random vectors, it achieves up to a 5X
speedup. Moreover the parallel shared memory implementation
of the algorithm obtains a high level of efficiency up to 80
$\\%$ of the theoretical peak performance. Despite the
eigenproblems in the sequence being relatively large and
dense, the parallel BChFSI fed with ap- proximate solutions
performs substantially better than the corresponding direct
eigensolver, even for a significant portion of the
sought-after spectrum},
